Loading Forth ROM into Clonix Module Message #1 Posted by Phil Green on 31 Jan 2006, 8:14 a.m. Hi, How do I load the Forth-41.HEX ROM image into the Clonix-41 module? What Page, Bank etc? When I try to load it, nothing appears in the Cat 2 directory. Any suggestions? Regards Phil Green

Re: Loading Forth ROM into Clonix Module Message #2 Posted by Diego Diaz on 31 Jan 2006, 10:14 a.m., in response to message #1 by Phil Green Hi Phil, Please try: http://www.clonix41.org/Projects/Clonix-41/forth-41.zip This is the .HEX file to load directly into IC-Prog buffer. Note that this is compiled with Clonix6P code, therefore, current drain will be higher than the ClonixLP counterpart... I'll build "LP" .HEX versions for some of these "rare" modules that use pages below #6, namely: Services, Forth, Laitram... it will take a while though. (Really busy nowadays) Best regards Diego. Edited to add: Please remember that Forth ROM as well as any other using page #5 won't work when plugged into 41CX for obvious reasons ;-)) Edited: 31 Jan 2006, 3:33 p.m.

Re: Loading Forth ROM into Clonix Module Message #3 Posted by Phil Green on 31 Jan 2006, 4:16 p.m., in response to message #2 by Diego Diaz Hi Diego, Thanks for your advice once again. I should have realised that it was a .HEX file. And yes, I have found I can not use it in my CX! I have just tried it! Can this ROM ever be relocated so that it does not use page #5? Regards Phil Green

Re: Loading Forth ROM into Clonix Module Message #5 Posted by Doug Wilder on 1 Feb 2006, 1:44 a.m., in response to message #3 by Phil Green Took a quick look. Seems the lower 4K must be at page 4 yet the upper page (the one with the FAT) can go into any page. That is: the local executes are relative (not hard wired to page 5). Worth a try anyway. Best

Re: Loading Forth ROM into Clonix Module Message #6 Posted by Diego Diaz on 1 Feb 2006, 10:49 a.m., in response to message #5 by Doug Wilder Thanks Doug, I'll give a go to a "splitted" Forth-41 version to verify your point... alas I'm not sure how long it will take... as noted before, I'm really busy nowadays. Cheers Diego. Edited: 1 Feb 2006, 11:50 a.m.
