[Flashforth-devel] PIC production question

[Daniel L. <DL...@zo...>]

Folks,

The interactive nature of Forth has many development advantages.  But I am curious how people are putting their Forth code into production?  Loading a PICs flash with a hex file is the traditional way to put code into production.  Sending ascii based source files into the Forth interpreter seems error prone. Maybe the following steps are a way...


1.       Send source into Forth interpreter via serial port.

2.       Read flash via a PIC programmer to create a hex file image of Forth and all compiled words.

3.       Test code to verify proper operation.

4.       Put hex file from step 2 into production.

Thanks for any discussion on practices.
