Fair enough.  For this type of thing, let's say 100-1k = small, 1k-10k
= moderate, >10k = large.

It seems to me that lots of boards are being built fairly inexpensively
for niche products.  So it sounds like either the builders are losing
money, or they're making stuff in higher volumes than I'd have guessed,
or they have some kind of cost cutting schemes that might or might not
affect product reliability (none of these boards are in critical systems).

The smallest raspberry pi has 256 megabytes of ram and normally uses a
multi-gigabyte SD flash card as a "disk".  Compared to traditional Forth
environments that is very enormous and then some.  I think of Forth as a
lightweight language for realtime hardware control on low-resource
platforms, so an RPi seems outsized for Forth.  RPi's are frequently
programmed in Python and I know that Erlang and Haskell also run on
them.

Did you try "apt-get install gforth"?  "Gforth raspberry pi" gets tons
of search hits too.

I get the impression this is not really practical/worthwhile on an
RPi-like board, because of the complexity of even booting the thing, and
then controlling all the cruft in the cpu.  Smaller processors are much
simpler and maybe more suited to real time work.  The BBB has a pair of
auxiliary real time processors right there on the chip (bizarre 32-bit
RISC architecture with 8k of ram shared with the main cpu), and those
are potentially quite interesting for Forth.  But the idea is you'd
communicate with them from a Linux application running on the main cpu.

How about we just skip the labels and just use the numbers?  I doubt 
Simon is expecting anything above 1000, but at that point his price is 
only $35.  That's not bad.  At 10,000 units he will sell them for just 
$22.44.  I'd be willing to bet he has gotten quotes for all the costs 
and isn't even planning on profit.

Yeah, what's your point?  If you imagination is limited you feel using 
Forth should also be limited?

There are stand alone Forths that run on PCs.  Certainly that is a bit 
more complex than an rPi.

I see the rPi as a nice little module.  It is popular because it is low 
cost, small and easy to program.  If we can do the same thing with Forth 
running on it, what's not to like?

No, I have not spent much time on it.  Someone had written up his 
efforts to get gforth running a little while back.  My recollection was 
that it wasn't terribly hard, but he had to do something other than just 
install it.

Yeah, the graphic core is not open but I think there is enough info for 
you to talk to it and run the canned stuff.  I think Linux is not really 
required to use the chip, but a lot of work would need to be done to 
control the various functions as you say.  But then have you read the 
manual for any of the 32 bit ARM Cortex MCUs lately?  Well over 1000 
pages I seem to recall for the ones I have seen.

I trust your judgement about hardware costs more than I trust my own, so
I'm a little disappointed by these numbers.  I have an idea for a board
I want to make (qty a few hundred to start with) and was hoping that the
NRE would be somewhat lower.  I had figured most adafruit.com boards are
made in the 100-1k volume range, but I don't know.

I know of some 16-bit Forths that run in 8086 real mode, like a 1980's
PC.  I don't know if it's possible to program the rPi the same way, or
you have to program it like a full blown modern x86 server or
workstation including address virtualization and all the rest.

At least in user mode, the rPi can run Forth just fine, if that's what
you want.  Forth has pluses and minuses just like anything else.  All
I'm saying is that one of the big pluses of Forth is that it can run on
tiny hardware.  If you run it on big hardware, that particular plus is
de-emphasized which makes the minuses stand out more.  If the trade-off
is still to your liking even after that, then great.  For me, it changes
the math for most applications I can think of.

Right, the non-graphics parts are documented but there's still
apparently a ton of crap to deal with.  MMU, DRAM controller, multiple
clocks, power management, etc.  People tell me that the rPi works pretty
well because it's out there in such quantities and the software (Linux
kernel) snafus have already been found and fixed by other people.  The
BBB is supposed to also be ok in that regard.  Developing on the lesser
known boards of this type apparently means you will be spending part of
your time debugging Linux kernels or whatever your replacement is.  I
like to hope that on the M-series SOC's, things are much simpler than on
the A-series.

The difference is: This is the first time ever Forth on crowdfunding.

The real question is: Will M. Simon reach his moderate funding goal of $2,250 - that means, he needs less than two dozen supporters - or will this end with $150 as it is now?

The result will shed a light on the Forth community.

There is no comparison with the Raspberry Pi, of course. The Raspberry Pi launch was much better prepared, and they got an overwhelming response.
Would be great if the Alpha Team would get some merits out of it.
It is a new page in history of Forth.

Is this even Forth on crowdfunding, or is it a fairly boring
microprocessor board on crowdfunding, where the board's designer happens
to like Forth, so Forth runs on the board?  Nothing about the board
seems particularly aimed at Forth.

I thought for a minute the below had something to do with Forth, but it
probably doesn't:

This is not about the board. It's about the intention:

Simon says:
"I want to improve the productivity of Real Time Control software design by making Forth the premier language of real time... the beginning of our efforts to make Forth the most widely used Real Time language."

I am wondering what would have happened if Simon would have announced his plans at c.l.f. - would he ever have had then the courage to start?

Suppose c.l.f. responses made him decide to not bother starting his
hardware project.  So he never makes his board.  Instead, he writes his
Forth for an existing board like an STM Discovery or Tiva Launchpad.
All his effort goes into Forth instead of generic-looking hardware.  Is
that somehow less good for the Forth community?  

There are at least 10 comparable ARM boards already available.  If
Simon's hardware project is successful, there will be one more.  As a
Forth user now with 11 boards to choose from, are you likely to use
Simon's, or one of the others?

It would be great to have a Forth family for microprocessor boards which allows to run the same program on different boards and microprocessor families. Commands like @ADC, !PWM and the like would make this possible, and would make programming much easier than with other tools.

But who could write such a Forth? And what about the licenses?

I don't know, but it sounds like a software task rather than a hardware
one.

That sounds nice and might be possible for a limited set of peripherals. 
  Many peripherals are not so compatible between brands, operating 
differently and supporting a different set of features.  For example, 
some ADC/DACs will only be usable through program I/O.  Others support 
DMA.  The user program interface will be rather different unless you 
abstract it to a higher level not completely different from file I/O. 
Then each I/O device will require a driver unique to that device or 
family.  Certainly not unreasonable and I believe the Mecrisp project is 
headed in that direction.

Thanks for writing these lines. That's just the point. Programming in C or assembler you need libraries at this point.

With Forth it is possible to write @ADC or !DAC or something like that, because these words should be part of the Forth version needed for a specific microprocessor and/or board. Keep it simple! RSC-Forth did that. 
This is a higher level.

Writing a Forth for a microprocessor family needs the ability to think Forth.

Forth itself runs on not so compatible brands. The adaptability and extensibility is the beauty of Forth.

These commands have to be parts of Forth, and porting of Forth to a special board needs some work to achieve this, because even boards with the same microprocessor may have different hardware configurations.

It makes only sense to offer a Forth which includes such commands, otherwise it is easier to copy/paste C patchwork together, especially for a newbee.

Sorry, this was just a remark which came to my mind. It's another topic.
I always was wondering why usually everyone writes his own Forth, and I came to the conclusion that may be to avoid trouble with licenses when (commercially) using a Forth somebody else has written.

I expect the reasons why people write their own forths has been 
discussed ad nauseam here and elsewhere.  Personally I would expect the 
licensing issues to be lower on the list.  I think high on the list is 
as George Mallory said of climbing Everest, "Because it's there".

I don't expect to ever write a Forth since many have done a very good 
job and I am basically lazy.  I much prefer the image Newton said of 
himself of standing on the shoulders of giants.  :)

Rick, Thanks for these great words! I totally agree!

The licences are generally:

1. "Don't compete with us, using our own product."  Although you can see in Roger
Levy's thread where the specific limitations seemed to close off leaving Forth
available as the extension language of a Forth application.

2. "Don't distribute a proprietary fork."  Although again, one wonders about
extension languages.

3. "Do whatever you want."

I'm sure there are many good reasons to produce a forth.  I imagine the bad
reasons are mostly rooted in some contempt for Forth as a language.  It's such
a simple language that it is no demanding task to produce an implementation of
it that is any good -- so you get 'forths' written by people who get ROT -ROT
backwards.  It's such a low-level language that you couldn't possibly write a
high-level library for it and then get to work; it's such a fractured language
that you can't just pick a system and an object system and an environment and
then get to work; it's such a *standardized language* that you can't just
declare your dependencies and then get to work -- so you have Joe's Completely
Incompatible Forthalike in which Joe doesn't have to defend choosing Neon or
preferring 'putn' to '.' for printing numbers or whatever.

Thank you for an entertaining post :-) 

Surely it isn't as bad as that. I have no trouble of finding my
way in Gforth, VFX, or SwiftForth, although I find them needlessly 
awkward. Win32Forth has become marginal and platform locked (by 
its own desire I think). SP-Forth is in Russian. What else is there?

The situation might be worse for small controller boards. 
I certainly wouldn't waste a ms of my time with the products 
you describe.

Do you work with MCUs?

I don't recognize your email address.  Are you Marcel Hendrix?  Ah, I 
expect you are, I see the Marcel Hendrix web page is hosted at iae.nl. 
I know I've seen your posts here, but I don't recall your type of Forth 
usage, MCU or PC.

I think that is the point people are trying to make.  The intention does 
not justify designing yet another MCU board.

But it has nothing to do with Forth really.  It is an MCU board with a 
forth available.  There are lots of those, no?

I think this will have little to do with the "forth" community.  This is 
not really about forth.

Lol.  More like, a new line in the book of forth.  I don't expect to buy 
any of these because I have no idea what they do that 5,000 other MCU 
boards don't do.  Forth isn't it.
