Nov.15 OpenOCD Flashing on AA PC

TODO
Get a version with export 4.0 working with FBs!
SEGWAY


1a. OpenOCD  is part of the gnuarm toolchain. 
OpenOCD does not have offical releases, but some stable releases are available. It was easiest to copy the OpenOCD in the on Alex's PC to my laptop and add it to the path. Unfortantely its not clear where this working version came from orginally.

1b.Support for mulitple versions of forte.bin at once.
Created a flash_forte_bin directory to copy forte.bin and forte to for use with openocd bat files.
New bat file:  cp_Oflash.bat
Now
C:\openocd\trunk3\testing\examples\SAM7S256Test\prj\sam7s256_flash_Q.cfg file is also hard coded to this directory.

2. CBC/Scheme

- plug in keyboard and display
--  result: CBC booted the same.
    It didn't seem to be aware of the keyboard or display automatically.
- kernel # for ubuntu10.4 is at least 2.6.32.9
-- if kernel is new enough the CBC Linux driver is included
--- (11/17 note: interesting the driver link is same those doggles needing usblib)
- Can't use CBCJVM - Racket has its on Racket machine bytecode

Botball has another language forum. Only Java seems to be doing anything.
