June 1 Blinky

The blog is being neglected in favor of:

• a local wiki for an organized how-to
• dropbox for sharing
• more concentration the diditacs

Main ideas, test results and status will still be published here.

My Netbook is back, but laptop died completely. Thankfully due to Dropbox no files have been lost. So setting up and redoing tests with current hg.

Made the mistake of agreeing to get my own id, when the original id owner came back. The copying of files means much of the  lab PC enviroment has to be reinstalled.

Current hg lms does not compile.  Minimum updates were passed on in early May, but not put in hg yet.

Feb.16 version still blinks nicely, but the same lms_main.c used with the current forte hg, does not. It is recognized as an eCos device by windows after being flashed.

It has been strongly suggested that making certain cMake variables smaller would fix this, but this quick pat answer can't true (even if it did get some to laugh).

Because:

• If the compiled source is too large then an .elf  file is not created
• All the forte files are smaller in the May version

Making all cMake parameters smaller to save space will be a help with applications:

Keeping them initially the same repeated the Feb. test case.

Feb.16 forte blinks with the following:

FORTE_CommunicationInterruptQueueSize  = 1

FORTE_EventChainEventListSize = 16

FORTE_EventChainExteranlEvenListSize = 5

FORTE_IPlayerRecvBufferSize = 256

FORTE_STRINGDICTINITIALMAXNROFSTRINGS = 120

FORTE_STRINGDICTINITIAL = 1000
