Hi,
I've released an updated version of my PicForth Bootloading Kit:
http://www.freenet.org.nz/pic/picforth/picforth-bootloading.tar.gz
Changes:
- eliminated need for the 'fix-for-bootloader.fs' include. This
file was introducing subtle tormenting interrupt-handling bugs,
and I've since eliminated the need for it altogether.
- downloader client (pfd.py) now automatically asks the picforth serial
monitor where the program start vector is, and relocates any code
between addresses 0..3 in the image to that address
- fixed bug with image uploading (ie, from PIC back to host)
(If I get a spare moment, I hope to create a cut-down serial-monitor.fs
which does nothing but bootloading, which consumes a smaller footprint,
and which uses a more efficient serial protocol (the existing protocol
is 80% inefficient, which makes downloads take longer than they should)).

Cheers
David
