[Amforth-devel] Marker etc.

[Al W. <al....@aw...>]

I saw amforth and popped it on an ATMega 8. Works but very little code space. 
So I dug up an ATmega 16 (you can mark it as working on the matrix -- it 
does). 

However, I want to be able to use Marker. I have uploaded the definiton several 
different ways including the python shell (which appears not to handle 
backspace well in interactive mode, by the way).  It seems to work, but after 
you execute it (example: marker blah) the system will say OK but any input 
will hang the system when you hit enter.

The other issue I had was trying to use the 16's internal RC clock. It would 
work until you wrote to flash (colon definition) and then it would also die with 
no recourse but to reflash. With a 10MHz resonator (and the right fuses) it 
works fine. Maybe my OSCCAL was too far off for 8MHz (I didn't load the 8MHz 
OSCAL but the default 1MHz one was pretty close).

So as it stands now I must use a crystal or resonator and whatever I put in as 
colon defintions are pretty much forever because there is no forget (I 
understand why) or marker.

Oh, and it took me awhile to figure out that avra was no longer supported :-(

Any ideas on getting marker to work?

Great work, by the way. Really a fun piece of software.
