Boy it’s hot, just got me some #ice40 to get some cool #forth on them.

@jemo07
So what are you going to flash the Ice40 with.

Do you know that the J1 and Mecrisp cannot use the single port ram. They can only use the dual port ram. How much do those boards have?

@PythonLinks Hi, well I bought two, I’m reserving one to hopefully test your 4 cores… I hace an ICE stick that I hope to get the Mecrisp working on, but again I have not been able to synthesize the code,there is either a PLL issue or the ram module was missing…

Specs on these is:
7680 Logic cells
128k bits embedded RAM (32 x 4k bit blocks)
2 PLL's

So although it uses the #ICE40, it is by a different manufacturer than the #picoice, so the pins that connect the USB chip to the FPGA chip may be different, in which case it will need a different bitstream. Sigh.

@jemo07

@PythonLinks I have a PicoIce on the mail. :D
That is great that you have a Pico-Ice. #ZeptoForth on the #rp2040 is very interesting.
I hope that you live in the US, I paid for priority international mail, and the package has been sitting in Los Angeles for a week. The US mail system is so broken. The company plans to start shipping from outside of the US.
@jemo07
@PythonLinks I should get it next week (🤞🏻) When will you be releasing your #Forth #FPGA #ForthCore or #ForthCPU .

Well first of all my board is still sitting at the Los Angeles Airport. I ordered it on the 14th of this month. And then it depends on what other problems I run into.

Forgive me if that does not answer your question.

@jemo07

Here is my best estimate as to when the Hana processor will ship. Maybe the word guess is more accurate than estimate.

I will update it as things change. #forth #mecrisp #picoice

Thank you @jemo07 for pushing me to ship the product sooner.

Ship Schedule

My best guess on when this will ship.
