Dear Matthias, In trunk@1566 you wrote in NRWW.rst that "Furthermore the NRWW section cannot self reprogram itself." That isn't true at least on my current micro (at90can128). The MCU simply freezes when writing to its NRWW space. Thus, the BOOFA bootloader <https://github.com/wexi/boofa.git> has no problem to program the *entire* Flash space; less itself of-course :-)
Also, I don't think that typical developers needing to place a bootloader on the NRWW sector should trouble themselves with asm code packing. Until a different core packing method is offered (which I strongly recommend) here is a patch that I suggest to include in AmForth: http://pastebin.com/i7DbkWiT An excerpt: diff --git a/core/dict/appl_8k.inc b/core/dict/appl_8k.inc index 53d9ef3..cf9e1a3 100644 --- a/core/dict/appl_8k.inc +++ b/core/dict/appl_8k.inc @@ -1 +1,6 @@ +.if AMFORTH_RO_SEG > NRWW_START_ADDR +.include "dict/appl_4k.inc" +.exit +.endif In the remaining core space I pack via dict_appl_core.inc application asm words and additionals from the core. Sincerely, Enoch. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start Your Social Network Today - Download eXo Platform Build your Enterprise Intranet with eXo Platform Software Java Based Open Source Intranet - Social, Extensible, Cloud Ready Get Started Now And Turn Your Intranet Into A Collaboration Platform http://p.sf.net/sfu/ExoPlatform _______________________________________________ Amforth-devel mailing list for http://amforth.sf.net/ Amforth-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/amforth-devel
