The best FPGA for Forth Soft Cross

Here is the abstract for my SVFIG talk at abpit 10:20 am California time tomorrow Saturday Feb 28th.

The $15 GateMate is a great FPGA for building Forth soft cores. It will happily run at 100Mhz or more. It has 64 x 1 K word long x 20 bit wide block RAMs (BRAMs). 20 bits wide is enough for most real time control applications.

I bought the #upduino board. $33 List Price. $97 shipped to Europe and taxed. And I still need some #pmods.

Now I feel like goofing off until it arrives.

I am building a many core #Forth processor on Lattice Semiconductor FPGAs using the open source #Yosys tools. The first products released will be two 4 core processors. 16K* 16 bit words or 10.6K * 24 bit words. Every pair of processors will communicate using 10Kbits of dual port RAM. The processors will run on the $35 #PicoIce and $30 #Upduino boards. Later there will be hundreds of cores on the larger #ULX3S #ECP5 boards.
