[Amforth-devel] amforth-uptload.py tool

[Bernard M. <bme...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I am trying to use the above tool to download some forth (.frt) files to my
target atmel128  based board.

When I try to use this utility (Linux box, standard port /dev/ttyS0) it just
does nothing, no error messages .. nothing, have to CTL-C to get out.

Some questions:

1. I use the utility as "amforth-upload.py filename.frt" (where filename.frt
is the forth code), is this correct,  the -h help returned indicates this is
all you do.
2. If this utility  uses the serial device /dev/ttyS0, how  does it set up
the baud rate, there is no facility in the script to do that.
(I tried using minicom to set up the baud rate for the port, then use the
-f(force) option with the script, but still nothing ....

Hopefully someone has used this utility can tell me what I am doing wrong ..


Thanks,
Bernard

I add the -t parameter for the port every time (even for ttyS0) to be
sure to send the files to the correct port.

I'd recommend setserial. minicom IIRC resets the serial settings when
shutting down. The upload utility itself does not change the serial
settings.

Hi Mathias,

Thanks for that. I used stty to set the serial baud rate, as it is not very
apparent how to do that with setserial reading the manpage.

The atmega128 system works great now, I have used the macros.asm file that
you checked in the other day to sort out the temp7 issue. I will email the
atmega128.asm file to your address for inclusion in future releases.

Cheers,
Bernard

Hi,

just for the records:

You can prevent minicom from "initializing the modem" by 
using the "-o" Option. Check the documentation for details.

You can exit from minicom without resetting the serial 
interface with "C-A Q".
