Pong broken on LM3S6965

[Kevin Vermeer]

I simply flashed my device with the binary, and ran several programs
(interactive, hello, pwmled) successfully.  Then, trying to demo my
scripting language to my classmates (Who were experimenting with
Forth....) I proudly loaded the Pong application, but received a table
call that returned a nil element.  Interactive Lua and file download
was impressive enough for them, but I wanted to report the bug.

Apparently, LM3S6965.lua does a
>local lm3s = require "lm3s.lua"
and the first line which uses lm3s gave the familiar "attempt to index
lm3s, a nil value" error.

I don't have my board with me today to tell you the exact lines of
code, but I did want to point it out. If you need more details, I can
let you know when I get home tonight.

This can be mostly ignored - the problem line (disp = lm3s.disp) was
fixed in Revision 714!  The binary just needs to be updated.

Thank you for the report Kevin and apologies for the issue.
As we've mentioned here on the list before, this was a problem with the version closing and for one reason or another we ended up not releasing a minor version to correct it and I regret it now.

Apparently, LM3S6965.lua does a
>local lm3s = require "lm3s.lua"
and the first line which uses lm3s gave the familiar "attempt to index

Not exactly but the solution is simple as well.
Just add to your EK-LM3S6965.lua file, the following line, before the module( ... )
local lm3s = lm3s

I don't have my board with me today to tell you the exact lines of
code, but I did want to point it out. If you need more details, I can
let you know when I get home tonight.

Please let me know if you need an updated/fixed binary image and I'll be glad to send you.

Kevin Vermeer

Best
Dado
