e4thcom - A Terminal for Embedded Forth Systems
Abstract
e4thcom for Linux an OSX is a terminal program for embedded Forth Systems with interfaces for cross-assemblers and cross-disassemblers that supports conditional and unconditional uploading of source code. 32 and 64 Bit Linux (X86 and Paspberry/Raspbian) and 64 Bit OSX are supported.
Support for OSX is new and still in status TESTING. So feedback in case of problems is greatly appreciated.
Supported Forth Systems:
328eForth , 430CamelForth , 430eForth , 4e4th, AmForth, anyForth , Mecrisp , Mecrisp-Quintus , Mecrisp-Stellaris , noForth , STM8 eForth , SwapForth
