[Flashforth-devel] re V 3.8 runing in 4550

[Neil Shuker-H. <nei...@sk...>]

Hi All,

 

With some direct help from Craig Bair I have succeed today in compiling and
loading FF into a 18f4550. My set up is an easypic 7 dev board 8mhz crystal
oscillator. I am using the uart version of FF with a  mikroElektronika
supplied usb to serial driver called VCP for a FTDI FT232RL to a putty
terminal which communicates in both directions as expected.

 

When I switch the board on I get a the following line on screen

ESCFlashForth V3.8 

which repeats around once per second.

 

I can interrupt this by pressing esc to get the interpreter as suggested in
the manual, but then about the only things I can do then is type words which
performs as expected by printing the dictionary and ' .' which gives an 0
ok. 1 2 + . gives nothing and  as with the other trials the above ESC etc
starts scrolling again. I do not have turnkey set as this is a new install
and I have as yet done nothing with it other than turn it on and the above.

 

Any ideas as to what this might be and how to fix it would be welcomed.

 

Neil
