But all, on that amforth can run. At least I'm almost sure ;=)

Well, the method the hex files are transferred to the
controller is completly unrelated to amforth itself. There
are no dependencies.. With the one exception, that a
bootloader cannot be used at all (with the potential exception
from the exception if amforth is adapted to use some API
call from the bootloader to perform the flash self
programming).

I think that everybody who works with the Atmel controllers
will soon know the tools and how they work. There are so
many websites around, that I do not want to publish the same
information again; this time my way. Same argument why
I omit schematics and such information.

I'll collect some links to such websites and put them on
the links page. Is that ok?
