Re: [Amforth] uploading files

[Matthias T. <mt...@we...>]

Hello Robert,

I cannot test with an recent arduino (the ttyACM device tells
me this), so only one remark.

the python script requires that no other process accesses the
serial line. You cannot watch it working.

Another tool to use is am4up with minicom (a small
C program in the tools directory). See at the sources on
how to use it. It implements the same communication
logic as the python script but *within* minicom. The downside
is that it does not honor the include commands. Nobody's
perfect and patches are very welcome.

Blame the debian people.
