BasicTools.ini file doesn't have the latest kernel firmware version number in it.


it shows 0832 instead of the experimental 0833 -- this is for the 812 eval chip

my BasicBoard shows 0832
my 812 with your dongle shows 0832
seems like my 0833 didn't load-
I reloaded the 833a.hex file with your dongle and did several tests and it
still the INI file comes up with 0832
**BTW the other values in the INI showed what I had done, plus I had edited
the file with a 0999 version number to make sure it wasn't left over from the BasicBoard

We added the FirmwareVersion into BASIC.ini for debug purposes, it reflects what is in the vector table that is sent to the ARMbasic compiler. It's not used anywhere.

This just shows the pitfalls of having duplicate copies, there is a firmware version in the assembly language used for the vector table and another version in the C language message of BASIC welcome message. And as often happens when we are doing trials those don't always agree.

so in this case no harm no foul...
