[Flashforth-devel] trying recent FF 5.0 on PIC24FV16KM202

[Peter J. <pe...@me...>]

Mike,
    After a long delay, I've returned to working with FF on a 
PIC24FV16KM202, as I had used for the tutorial guide last year.  I'm 
building a couple of boards for one of my students.  Since you have done 
quite a bit of development on FF in recent times, I thought that I 
should port my small number of edits for this processor onto your 
current code for FF.  Unfortunately, I have failed to get it working.  I 
can rebuild the FF code from April 2014 with the current MPLAB-X tools 
and it runs nicely on the new boards, however, I get no boot message at 
all with the current FF code.

I see in your new web pages that larger PIC24/dsPIC MCUs are mentioned 
but not the 16KM202.  Also, you suggest the MCU to have at least 24kB 
flash.  This may be my problem but MPLAB-X is indicating that 1099 words 
are free following a build of the current FF code and that's not too 
much less than the 1201 words free for the April 2014 FF code.  It's 
very likely that I forgotten to do something simple but I cannot see it 
this evening.

If you have time to look and offer suggestions, I've put a complete copy 
of both projects in the tar files:

(1) new code builds but doesn't run on the MCU
https://outbox.eait.uq.edu.au/e4pjacob/flash-forth/ff5p0-pic24-aug-2015-as-at-2015-aug-26.tar.gz

(2) old code builds and does run on the MCU
https://outbox.eait.uq.edu.au/e4pjacob/flash-forth/ff5p0-pic24fv32ka-apr-2014-as-at-2015-aug-26.tar.gz
The directory name makes this project seem like it's for another 
processor but it really is for the 16KM202.

Within each project folder, I have a mercurial repository with a clean 
copy your files as the initial commit.
Regards,
Peter J.
