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.

My new #Introduction

I am building tiny real-time #Forth co-processors for MicroPython, Circuit Python and RISC-V. On FPGA's a stack machine can be 1/2 the size of a 32 bit RISC-V soft core.

@tsalvo Just saw your work in progress on the stack #CPU implementation in #PipelineC 👋 . Great work, how neat! Hope it has gone well and as always happy to help! 🤓 #uxn #varvara #AnaloguePocket #FPGA #stackmachine #FPGA #HDL https://github.com/tsalvo/varvara-fpga

I have created a Read The Docs site for Mecrisp Ice, which is a family of 16, 32 and 64 bit soft core Forth processors written in Verilog and based on the J1 stack machine.
