J1a SwapForth, J1a FPGA Processor, and the IceStorm Open
Source Tool Chain - James Bowman
James will present his J1a
SwapForth, J1a FPGA processor, and the IceStorm open source tool chain.
- The CPU is a J1a - a trimmed-down version of the J1.
- The interactive Forth system is a much-reduced version of
SwapForth,
built for the J1a.
- " The trimming-down is motivated by the very low-end FPGA,
the Lattice iCE40 Ultra /
UltraLite. This
FPGA
is available in a 1.4x1.4 mm package for $1.39.
- " The project is built using
IceStorm, a complete open source
tool chain for these Lattice FPGAs.
