I found I was running out of ram so I couldn’t put my programs on the chip (I am currently using a 2809 chip, yes in the 2808 dev board).

When I put the program into flash instead every print statement would seize the program – so I disabled the end of program breakpoints which sort of worked, this made the program run all the way through, however now the program never halted and the whole thing hung up. Pasted at the end is my command file and the perl script that loads, runs and logs. To get around the problem of the never halting program I instructed the perl script to repeatedly open the log file and check for an “END OF FILE”, when that is found the perl manually halts the run and everything wraps up gracefully. So all I had to do was instruct the program on the chip to print "END OF FILE" when it had completed the tasks I wanted it to do.

This method seems like a major kludge, it works, but.. Do you have any better suggestions?

Thanks!
