Questions to the list, not me. "Fellow AmForthers, Pleased to announce the initial release of amforth32. This GPLv3 licensed project aims to advance the 32-bit ARM and RISC-V variants of AmForth. As many will know, a RISC-V target was introduced in AmForth release 6.7 in 2018 [1], joined by two ARM targets in release 6.8 in 2019 [2]. With ... interest in getting AmForth running on the ARM based Arduino(R) UNO R4, there was a great opportunity to restart the development of the 32 bit variants of AmForth in a conserted way, resulting in amforth32. Below is a link to the precompiled binaries with instructions on their use. https://github.com/amforth32/amforth32/releases/tag/v1.0 Intrinsically, amforth32 is AmForth at heart; an ITC Forth with recognisers. However, the codebase, build system and ecosystem have changed quite a bit since the 6.8 release. One key change is the adoption of QEMU virtual machines as first class targets, alongside their close (or not so close) real mcu counterparts. This allows non-mcu dependant elements of the codebase to be subject to automated testing. It also means that hardware is not required to try out amforth32 or to participate in the project. There is also a Forth debugger, a dynamic transpiler, a flash framework and ports to obtainable development board targets [3]. More details on the documentation website [a] and repo [b] [a] amforth32.github.io/amforth32 [b] github.com/amforth32/amforth32 Most of all, it has been a lot of fun getting this far. Of course, there are still things missing, and things which can be improved. We very much welcome participation, and contributions should be a little easier to make. A little early for May 4th be with you, but happy Forthing nevertheless. Best wishes, ..." -- Regards, Martin Nicholas. E-mail: reply-202604@mgn.org.uk (Address will be valid throughout April).
