Why didn't you pick some C based Forth and simply make it run via avr-gcc ? I'm always sad when OSS projects split and this seems to me the direction you are taking. As Matthias would testify, I am currently his main "pestering" AmForth buddy. Still, keeping talent united is so important that I will always choose "prodding" rather than "diverting". (*) The AVRDUDE develppers are more interested in the latest JTAG gizmos than in simple AVR109 compatible operation (I doubt if any of them is using Forth :-) As they refused to integrate BOOFA in their project, what seems to me so natural, I set up the repository here: https://github.com/wexi/boofa.git Please note that Matthias provided a definition that makes it easy to integrate BOOFA: .equ AMFORTH_RO_SEG = NRWW_START_ADDR + 512 ;make room for BOOFA Cheers, Enoch. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
