Hi! Can't help with this problem, however I've given some thought to Arduino lately on _native_ forth for Arduino. I haven't had time for try to do it. Anyway I'd like to share my ideas.
Propably most of AVRs which people have are arduinos. IMHO Amforth should be more Arduino friendly. This would mean some development 1) Libraries. People are propably familiar with Arduino's libraries so AmForth should have similar libraries. Even I love bitnames.frt people still want to do 1 12 digital-write etc. Everyone knows that coming from C to forth is hard. Everything is upside down and there are so many things to keep in mind. At least to make LED blink shouldn't be non-understandable. 2) Ready to flash binaries. This is already done. However how many Arduino users can flash the binaries with the IDE or is it even possible. 3) Arduino sketch for AmForth. Open scetch mystically generate binaries and flash. I'm not even sure myself what this means. Maybe my point is to open file in ArduinoIDE and stuff happens magically. 4) Forth is not for everyone. Arduino bootlader in AmForth. Requires some development and careful designing so that bootloader could prepare forth rather minimalistic system or be supressed bootloader only and flash Arduino software Is this even possible? How the non-writable areas go in flash?
