Working on programming AVR chips exposes a glaring omission in my
first design of the SPI Relay: not allowing multiple devices make
this task hard. I constantly have to unplug my SD card before, plug
the AVR chip holder, then play a bit, then unplug the AVR holder,
then replug the SD card...
My prototype for a SPI relay design is built, but I haven't tested
it yet. I need to adapt the code first, which is what I do here.
When the prototype is tested, I'll update the SDC recipe with a new
schema.
Although the SPI Relay driver is RC2014-specific, the SD Card driver
is generic enough to be a subsystem. That's the second subsystem we
add and this warrants, I think, the formalization of a new concept:
protocols.
Instead of letting each configuration taking care of RDLN$ and
"CollapseOS" prompt, move this to BOOT to simplify xcomp units.
Initialization source code is now only for driver initialization.
DO and LOOP now only compile words from stable ABI, which make them
suitable for xcomp. This will greatly simplify driver writing and
allow us to mostly avoid the low/high divide in drivers.
LEAVE is still xcomp-incompatible though.
This make us very very tight for "<0x100" limit for literal words.
Hopefully, we won't need more stuff in that area of the binary...
