  • Free forth for 80251?

    From Peter Heitzer@21:1/5 to All on Thu Dec 8 12:09:20 2022
    Is there any free forth for the 80251 that uses the advanced
    features of the 80251?
    How difficult would it be to modify the sources for a 8051 based forth
    in order to take advantage of the 80251 instruction set?

    You may want to take a look at Camel Forth — probably it can be modified accordingly.

    For starters here's eforth code for 8051: https://github.com/TG9541/8051-eForth/blob/main/forth.asm

    But the main question is: what toolchain do you use for your hardware?
    Keil?

    A naked Forth without peripheral drivers is as useful as a bike whithout handlebar and wheels.

    I would use a free assembler (http://john.ccac.rwth-aachen.de:8000/as/index.html)
