Dear AmForthers,
to my knowledge noone has ever complained that " -jtag " ceased to work after version 5.5. Is it only me using this command? Short version: Since version 6.2 the content of the files > releases/*/avr8/devices/*/words/no-jtag.asm is essentially an empty function. This can be fixed by copying > releases/5.5/core/words/no-jtag.asm to your project, and reassembling AmForth. Longer version: While porting an /old/ program from version 4.6 to 6.8 on an atmega644p, it surprisingly failed to work. After some searching it became clear that pin C.2 did not work as expected. Suspiciously, this pin is part of the JTAG port. Moving to a non-jtag pin made the program work. Some code archeology found the following details: - File "words/no-jtag.asm" was added in version 2.7 - it has changed a few times until version 5.5 - in version 5.6 it disappeared - it reappeared in version 6.2 --- possibly because someone complained (may have been me). However, it reappeared in the devices subtree, separate for each controller. And it was and still is an empty function. I have no idea, why Matthias has distributed this function. To my knowledge it is the same everywhere --- whereas sleep.asm had to be distributed per controller before. So, maybe this information saves some head scratching. Cheers, Erich -- May the Forth be with you ... _______________________________________________ Amforth-devel mailing list for http://amforth.sf.net/ Amforth-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/amforth-devel
