crc, I looked at your HTML code, found it wasnt for Forth to HTML so much as your very nice literate Forth programming to HTML, and then I stumbled across a Forth to HTML program for Gforth which worked nicely. I had to get back to other stuff at that point so have continued using the canned Vim Forth to HTML since
<crc>
tp: I'm working on a version of my forth to HTML for traditional forth; But it's going slowly :(
<tp>
crc, I understand
<tp>
the exercise showed me that Forth is great as a converter
<tp>
as you may know I use Forth for embedded on real hardware doing simple jobs, thats my area of expertise
<tabemann>
yesss I've done my initialization and my board hasn't locked up!
<tp>
tabemann, milestone!
<crc>
Yes. Embedded stuff is interesting to me, though I've done almost nothing in that realm thus far
* tabemann
is just putting his toes in embedded, even though he did a bit of embedded for a job, in C, with an RTOS a long time ago
<tp>
crc, I used embedded as a source of income for many years and loved the field
<tp>
crc, I have about a dozen embedded projects on the go atm, all Forth powered cortex-m
* tabemann
is playing around with a DISCOVERY board ATM
<tp>
crc, as we well know, Forth is perfect for embedded self test programs as it already has the terminal support needed to access the information
<tp>
ant so I used that capability in my link above for my second "stm32F1xx-diagnostics" program which Ive just released. The previous version so far has had 131 downloads
<tp>
the new version reads internal information I wasnt aware of in the first version which was mainly exploratory anyway
<tp>
tabemann, it's awesome youre doing your cortex-m Forth because no one else is, apart from Matthias but his Mecrisp-Stellaris is fairly stagnant now apart from bug fixes
<tp>
tabemann, matthias is pretty busy now hes building space hardware in his new job
<tp>
tabemann, plus Matthias is working more on risc-v now
<MrMobius>
tabemann, were you the one working on a forth in arm assembly?
<tp>
MrMobius, definitely tabemann
<MrMobius>
I was curious what it was like
<tabemann>
back
<tabemann>
hah!!!
<tabemann>
I've got it waiting for keystrokes!
<tp>
your outer interp is working ?
<tabemann>
I'm not sure if it works, but it's trying to work
<tabemann>
now I need to attach a serial terminal
<tabemann>
okay, serial isn't working yet
<tabemann>
it's seeming to just loop forever when reading from serial
<MrMobius>
tabemann, I was looking today at writing assembly for ARMv4. have you messed with anything like that other than cortex M stuff?
<tabemann>
no I haven't
<tabemann>
isn't ARMv4 really old?
<tabemann>
the latest stuff is v8, and the stuff I'm working with right now is v7
<MrMobius>
ya graphing calculator from 2006
<tabemann>
ah
<tabemann>
okay, well, I do need to get going
<tabemann>
I'll be back on later
<MrMobius>
cya
tabemann has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
proteus-guy has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
boru` has joined #forth
boru has quit [Disconnected by services]
boru` is now known as boru
<tp>
wow a new Mecrisp-Stellaris version has been released and it supports a new chip, the STM32wb55 which has two Cortex-M cores, a M0 and a M4 AND inbuilt wireless!
<tp>
what surprised me is it includes memmap.fs and bitfield.fs files made with my svd2forth stuff :)
