 The ARM/PRU combination is a perfect fit for a cross-compiled Forth.  All
 of the compilation functions (“immediate words” in Forth) run on the ARM but
 lay down code in PRU-space.  PRU-resident native code or lists of Forth
 function calls would just be the PRU application itself, plus the tiny bit
 of code needed to implement the Forth interpreter.  Should be interesting to
 see what John has implemented.


 Your description is very close to the way it works.   In this case it has
 16-bit addresses so instructions cost 2 bytes.  The compiler doesn't run
 on the ARM however.  I considered that but it was far easier to implement it
 on the host computer.  Among the reasons is that I would have had to
 implement a PRU assembler in Forth.  Not too terribly difficult but still
 more work, and it would take up ARM program space.  Against that I didn't
 see any advantage to having a full forth interpreter on the ARM.  Most times
 a headerless forth is just fine on an embedded processor and that is the way
 I saw this project.  (Sorry for the Forth jargon.)

Didn't Robert put your Forth compiler into the latest release to run
on the ARM anyway? The assembler was already there on the ARM. It
would be great if you could check it.

 Before I started this I saw mentions of a C compiler but all the links

Can you tell me where you found broken links mentioning the upcoming C

within a week, so hopefully no more private beta.

 Forth is awesome. Last time I had a paying gig in Forth was about 1985, I
 think. It was to control a big lighted display board (and garage heater!).
 So it was basically a 160 x 32 monochrome graphics editor with fonts and
 wipe effects, done on an Apple II (8-bit 6502 processor, 1 MHz, 32k of RAM).
 No other language squeezes into tight spots like that.

I just tested, and what you've got seems to work OK, although the pasm
assembler is required to build the PRU binary.  I've got this installed
and built on my Machinekit images (since I have to assemble PRU code as
part of the Machinekit build), but I'm not sure about yours.

Yep, it's there in /opt/sources. pasm is installed and working, so it

[beagleboard] High(er) level language for PRU programming available.

2014-04-14 Thread John Silvia


I've implemented a forth language for the PRU to facilitate one of my own 
projects.  It is available for others to use on github in hopes that 
someone may find it useful.

https://github.com/biocode3D/prufh

Prufh will allow you to write code for the PRU in 
Forthhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forth_(programming_language). 
 This has the advantage of easier coding and debugging.  Because of the way 
it uses data memory (and the nature of Forth) it also may allow you to 
write larger programs than would be feasible in assembly language.  The 
potential disadvantages are that code will usually be somewhat slower and 
it is more difficult to calculate execution times.

Depending on how you need to use PRU, it may well be easier learn the 
basics of the Forth language in order to use prufh than to write everything 
in assembly.  But if there is anyone out there that already knows forth and 
needs to use the PRU subsystem, I'm sure you'll like it.

Yes, of course, a C compiler would be useful to more people; but I'm not 
capable of writing a C compiler in ~500 lines of perl ;-)

Re: [beagleboard] High(er) level language for PRU programming available.

2014-04-14 Thread lee
Forth is awesome. Last time I had a paying gig in Forth was about 1985, I 
think. It was to control a big lighted display board (and garage heater!). 
So it was basically a 160 x 32 monochrome graphics editor with fonts and 
wipe effects, done on an Apple II (8-bit 6502 processor, 1 MHz, 32k of 
RAM). No other language squeezes into tight spots like that.

 Nice job John, although I have to admit I have never heard of Forth( and 
 have been programming since the early 90's ). Nice to learn something new, 
 and I will have to give the Language a look-see to see if I like it. 

 Jason, if you're paying attention I would also like a copy of the C 
 compiler. I am based in the US, and do have an account on TI.com.

  Yes, of course, a C compiler would be useful to more people; but I'm 
 not
  capable of writing a C compiler in ~500 lines of perl ;-)
 
  ...and there's already a C compiler available.  You just have to e-mail
  Jason Kridner and ask to get the beta copy since it hasn't been
  officially released for some reason.

Really surprised you haven't seen my email around here? :-)

A direct email with PRU Compiler in the subject is easiest for me to
track.
