Hi,
As previously asked, I've put together a 'kit' for bootloading PicForth
programs.
http://www.freenet.org.nz/pic/picforth/bootloader.html
Kit includes:
- Samuel's serial-monitor.fs, with slight changes to suit 16F87xA chips
- PicForth include file, which causes PicForth to structure your
apps appropriately for bootloading
- example program - a 'hello, world' led-blinker
- 'pfd' - a downloader utility script (in python) - easy to use.
After a week of continually moving my PIC from proto board to programmer
for re-flashing, which took up to 3 minutes each time, it's bliss to be
now downloading progs to bootloader at 57.6kb/s, which takes only
seconds even for large programs.
