8051-eForth

This repository contains a 30 year old variant of Dr. C.H. Ting's eForth for the 8051: John C. Wren ported the code from MASM to the AVCASE51 tool chain, and implemented, e.g., basic arithmetic words in 8051 assemble for a much improved performance.

The first commit contains the code provided to me by JC Wren (29/May/2022). It was filtered with dos2unix and is otherwise the original baseline.

Development targets are:

  • porting to the SDCC toolchain (with sdas8051)
  • containerized tool chain with test and build in GitHub Actions
  • modularization in a similar way as STM8 eForth
  • target recent MCS-51 based µCs like the Nuvoton N76E003 without external bus
