[Amforth-devel] Butterfly problems

[Mike B. <mi...@mj...>]

Because amforth is available specifically for the AVR Butterfly ("Bf"), and that device 
includes some of the "peripherals" that I will need, I have elected to use it as the base for a 
current project rather than a simple breadboarding tile.

The amforth files for Bf create a hex file on AVRStudio without error or warning, and a 
STK500 claims to successfully copy it to flash via ISP (just the one file, no EEPROM file as 
indicated at one point in the amforth documentation). Then when connected to a terminal, 
data can be seen going into the Bf, but nothing is ever returned to the terminal, nor is there 
any suggestion of a sign-on message being generated at reset.

The same equipment is able to restore the original flash content, and the same terminal 
program is then is able to send a "name" string to the Bf, so all other hardware and software 
appears to be intact. The Bf reset line does go high when released.

Can anyone offer suggestions? What have I missed? There was mention of a ready-to-run 
hex file for this device, but I haven't found it.
