amforth 4.8

amforth is an interactive and extendable command interpreter for the Atmel AVR8 Atmega microcontroller family. It features a simple turnkey-solution for embedded use as well.<br /><br />The command language is FORTH. amforth implements an almost compatible ANS94 indirect threading 16bit Forth with very few missing CORE words, some words from the extension word sets (including some words from the Forth200x) and a few of its own words.<br /><br />The system runs completly on the controller. It does not need additional hardware beyond a power supply. It places no restrictions for hardware extensions that can be connected with the controller, e.g. external RAM.<br /><br />The interactive feature requires a serial line via RS232 (usb2serial converters work well). Other connections like TCP/IP telnet or radio links are possible as well, may require some implemention work however.<br /><br />amforth is published under the GNU Public License v2 (GPL).<br /><br />amforth needs less than 8KB Flash memory, approx 50 bytes EEPROM and 100-150 bytes RAM for the core system (including the compiler words).<br /><br />amforth can be downloaded from the project page.<br /><br />Karl Lunt has written an excellent User guide on how to use and work with amforth. For those who want to take a deeper look into the system is the Technical Documentation (PDF, ePUB 26.6.2010).
