Was wondering if anyone has looked at the beaglebone for porting, or using with, forth? Darin Murphy <murphy.darin@gmail.com> - 2016-05-20 22:38 -0400

From what I've seen the beaglebone "black" looks like a very interesting board. I understand I have a very long road ahead of me before I would try to do anything like either of them, but with so many adventurous and experience forthers here I was just curious if anyone thought about it. The hardware appears to be fairly documented and somebody has already created their own small OS with drivers in assembly: http://beagl eboard.org/project/mother/ . Also it's pretty cheap too!

It's a Linux board like the Raspberry Pi, a little more geared towards hardware hackers, and slightly more open. There's a slightly cheaper "green" version from seeedstudio.com if you want to save a few bucks. They've also announced a wireless version. These days the Raspberry Pi is a lot more popular, and the Pi 3 (quad core) is faster than the Beaglebone, maybe by 3x or so. I don't think it's feasible to do super low level hacking on any of these boards unless you're fairly experienced, if that was what you were thinking. They're good if you want to write or run user-level programs under Linux. If you want to hack low level, the Arduino has the biggest community and ecosystem.

VFX Forth for ARM Linux runs fine on the Beagle boards - green or black. It also runs fine on all Raspberry Pis. On this side of the Atlantic, the Raspberry Pi is the volume board, notjust because of the price, but also for the tolerant and polite society around it.
