I guess if we're going to abandon the bare metal approach. It might be worth moving onto p-forth?

At least that way it should be optimized by the c-compiler and you don't need to run it on top of Linux..?

Good to see you back Roland!!

I had this working on RevB

ahh, was i giving out-of-date advice?? My bad!! I'm glad that this thread is being stirred up again. I've really wanted to spend some time on this but i've been so busy!! I think there is a real potential for FORTH to be used as a real-time operating system. I think performance-wise it'll smash micr...

If you're using Linux, use dd to copy a standard RPI image I.e. raspbian, then rename the kernel kernal.backup or something then take the forth kernal and replace the original one. Forth should then just work. Sorry I don't have more specifics, I'm on my mobile phone I haven't seen much activity on ...

Git will definitely ensure that everyone is working from the same material.

I think the goals that you have identified are a good start. My suggestion would be an spi driver too.

gosh its been so long since i last changed/modified my website, its actually musolutions.net i'll get it all forwarded properly tonight

Hay Roland I would be happy to host your stuff from my site (the website is currently under construction, it can be accessed from bradphillips.synology.me) i own the domain usolutions.net (although i've forgotten my login details for now). But if you give me your permission, i'll build a site and ho...

I have completed a fully operational Forth operating system with standard words per ANSI/IEEE X3.215 Web site lars.nocrew.org/dpans/dpans.htm , to learn forth go to http://www.forth.com/starting-forth/index.html. Not implemented is floating point, editor, assembler, and no file system. The Forth op...

Cheers Gahns! I've been working through the tutorials. I had no idea it would be so straight forward to blink the LED!

Once I've worked through the tutorials I'll see if i can find some existing forth assembly source code for another platform and see if i can port it across.

i totally want to do this but i have no idea where to start, i learnt forth (and some assembly inside forth) on the 6811 at uni. i essentially want to use the arm11 as a programmable logic controller using i2c or spi to interface with an mpu for i/o. so i want to write forth from scrath using assemb...
