Matthias, Another post indicated that it was possible (likely) that a 328P with AmForth might be bricked during developing a program. With you 328P being surface mount it sounds as if that is a show stopper, depending on how dead the 328P was.
My understanding is that surface mount 328P's were only used when the DIP versions were not available. I only have one Arduino Uno and it is the DIP version. I have a project with a deadline and my scarcest resource is time. Even if it isn't rocket science I can't let myself get sidetracked with peripheral activities. You said,in an earlier post, that the Arduino Uno wouldn't be your first choice for a SBC for AmForth. I'm not locked into the Arduino Uno, It was available at an attractive price for this project. Can your recommend another SBC that would come up in Forth and be in this general price range? I wouldn't mind pausing the development of my existing Arduino Uno "c" program and try another board if it would get me up and running in Forth without delay. I appreciate your input.
