Fellow AmForthers,
This is AmForth Weekend 5. It has been a while.
## Reference card
The reference card on amforth.sourceforge.net has been updated to
reflect the current compilable core. Stack patterns, categories and
descriptions are extracted almost automatically from comments in the
assembler source. This has required some editing of comments in the
codebase, and is pass one, with more passes to come I am sure.
## AVR8 + amforth-shell.py
Nigel provided a patch for amforth-shell.py fixing command line
completion. Thank you. It should also now work on macOS. The lack of
support for the ATmega328PB was also raised. IIRC the ATmega328PB is the
last of the classic ATmega series, and thus the last mcc the avr8
codebase can support without a rework. A ~decade ago "blast from the
past" overview [1] Given they are available on some inexpensive nano-ish
format boards and offer a bit more than a ATmega328P it would be nice to
support them beyond binary compatibility with the ATmega328P.
## Prebuilt hex files for AVR8
There is now appl/prebuilt which includes the two sizes of hex files for
each of the development boards covered. See
https://amforth.sourceforge.net/TG/prebuilt.html for more details.
Creating the hex files is a makefile driven process that uses Mark's
fork of avra (Thank you). Replicating and customising the build should
be straightforward.
## RISC-V + ARM
See https://sourceforge.net/p/amforth/mailman/message/59322865/ and the
mailing list in general. Going forward I propose moving the current
RISC-V + ARM elements to an archive directory within the existing
Sourceforge repo.
Best wishes,
Tristan
