gelFORTH - Interactive Digital and Analog Hardware Design
- Andreas Wagner
gelForth is an umbilical
Forth, bootstrapped over the KitProg SWD programmer / debugger. It compiles
Forth to the Universal Digital Block (UDB) array (the Cypress PSoC 5LP CPLD)
during operation for interactive hardware design. It works with 100% Free &
Open Source Software.

eForth 1.0 on Kestrel-3 - it works! - Samuel A. Falvo
II
“I will provide a *very* fast demonstration of eForth booting
and doing something significant. However, the compiler is *really* slow - much
slower than anticipated. Do you want to help Kestrel Computer Project? I would
love to get some help speeding up the compiler!”
