A FORTH TCP stack .. very interesting. Charles I don't remember what is COLDFORTH and I am not able to find references about COLDFORTH on the net. Is it a Forth-based board (stack processor)?
I am using the COLDFIRE processor, so I called it COLDFORTH ( not very imaginative), 90+% is written in FORTH, assembler is restricted to the base word set, with a little in the scheduler, which is pre-emtive. All the interrupt code is in FORTH also.
It is a subroutine threaded FORTH ( needed if your going to write as much as possible in FORTH).
The project was started because MOTOROLA stopped producing the 68K, our original OS was mostly written in Assembler I didn't want to make that mistake again.
It is a self reproducing system so it is built using a cross compiler, in the long term I plan on porting the xcompiler to G forth.
I intend to put up a WEB site and CVS server next month, you can currently look at the code with a web browser at: 203.87.14.203
However, there is an ongoing Forth OS project released under the GPL, currently based on Intel x86 architecture, with which it would be possible exchange ideas and code (Forth and Assembly); an exchange beneficial, I think, for OpenBIOS also. It's "Retro/Forth OS" project:
I did not know about it.
Charles and Niklas are there URLs for your projects? Niklas what's the license of your BIOS?
