01-README-kernel.txt Popforth 4.0a 20101218 DAW

Version 4.0a is the same code as version 4.0, with corrections.
Also, 
 - the documentation has been reorganized.
 - the source code has been reorganized
 - the subdirectory "No EEPROM file system" is included,
   for folks that doe not have 64k EEPROM
   NOTE: a version for the demoboard hardware will be posted separately 

PropForth should run on just about any configuration. 
This batch of instructions uses fs.f, the definitions for the EEPROM mini file system
The mini file system requires 64k of greater EEPROM
So it pretty much work on anything except the demo board. 

If you have a demo board, please see the addendum which does not use the fs.f EEPROM mini file system  
The addendum will be released later time permitting



Standard regression test process:

1. Connect Propclip to the Spinneret Board and load Propforth.spin into eeprom.
2. Connect PropClip to the Prototype Board and laod Propforth.spin into eeprom.

THIS SET OF TESTS ALL RUN ON THE Proto Board

3. start teraterm, 57kB not other setting change necessary
4. hit enter, words <enter> make sure forth is alive

The minimal kernel is loaded

You can skip the regression test if you don't know what that means right now. 

Continue with the mini file system REAME if you have a proto board.
