Hi,

Can EEWORD be used after a word definition to just save the definition? I defined a simple word, put EEWORD after the ; and save-ram after that. When I restart the IsoPod it hangs when I type WORDS.

Also, do you have an example of the correct use of buffers for the serial port? I have seen examples of allocation, but not correct useage. I have the port working wiothout buffers but it might make it easier with them.

Thanks,

Paul

You did it right.
When I restart the IsoPod it hangs when I type WORDS.
Can you post the program, or show us the word definition that caused it hang ?

Also, do you have an example of the correct use of buffers for the serial port? I have seen examples of allocation, but not correct useage. I have the port working wiothout buffers but it might make it easier with them.

See I/O programming appnote, page 6-8.

Also there are many examples on the download page use serial buffer as well.

Hi,

Thanks for the info on the buffers, that seems to be exactly what I need. The code I tried was something simple like

: ADD2 2 2 + ; EEWORD

SAVE-RAM

When I reset the IsoMax prompt appears but hangs when I type WORDS.
Is there a restart vector or something that has to be set? I just wanted to save some word definitions for now.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi,

It seems I was not compiling or using the word after defining it. When I do that first before SAVE-RAM things work as expected. Also, does the minimal SEE program from Rob Chapman work with the IsoPod as listed in the posting?

Thanks,

Paul

I suspect perhaps you are not doing a SCRUB first, so your Flash is already corrupted with previous definitions. Before starting to move program segments to Flash, if you SCRUB it first, I think your problems may go away.
