Feb.15 Boot blinky, new forte, smaller eCos

Boot blinky not working.

Most obvious (and annoying) question is: 

Why did appear to work last week 
  and does not appear to work with the same forte lms now?

• Obvious answer would seem to be wrong forte.bin downloaded. 
•  Backing up to this version did not help. 
• See OpenOCD notes @ end of previous blog entry
• having a hard-code location for forte.bin can lead to wrong .bin file

Obvious tests are 

• go back to a working version 
• Summer 2010 with forte0.3 and larger eCos
• Works - but flashed only with Sam-ba so far 
• is screen shot needed? Only in case blinky stops working with this version

• hg_LMS_SummerBkup now a hg repository 
• committed all files to preserve everything this time  
• Regression test of hg version works

Then  switch out one piece at a time

• smaller eCos for larger eCos 
• Problems in code not used by LMS forte (abandoned test for now)
• hg forte 0.4 for forte 0.3
•  larger eCos for smaller eCos in current (2/16) forte  
• too large if any FBs included
• boot blinky works with larger eCos
•  working boot blinky so try again with smaller eCos
• eCos version used by DW had files 1 day newer than smaller eCos tested with
• boot blinky works with larger eCos
• HERE
• various lms code changes 
• Does the lmsmain that only does boot blinky work everywhere?
• Incrementally add the code changes back into hg
• initially with old file structure.
• then new file structure
• blinky works in new structure 
• add in avr_cntl
• add in FBs
• (only if doesn't work in new structure) move code around with incremental testing
• renames with incremental testing

Less obvious tests are:

• Is creation of forte.bin correct? 
• since was part of setup before
• what was the forte file before? 
• generalized OpenOCD -flash bat file so 
• input directory and openocd directories are variables
• and .cfg file is in the same dir as the .bat file
• New forte code changes
• in Nov an rv and vr were exchanged, but think this change is in hg version
