| JDForth - the first compiler(?) that takes an input source file and generates a Spin object! | For more information about Parallax's amazing Propeller chip, go and visit the Parallax Web Site. |
| • Input Files: Forth source files + PASM kernel. |
| • Output File: A Spin object that requires only a single cog. |
| • Easy interface allows Spin access to Forth words. |
| • The resultant object may be instantiated multiple times for multiple Forth systems. |
| • Unused forth and kernel words are optimised out for a minimal memory footprint. |
| • Editor has syntax highlighting for forth (*.jd4) as well as kernel (*.pasm) files. |
| • Forth files allow compile time (CORE:) or run time (PASM:) inclusion of PASM words. |
| • The assembly in PASM: and CORE: definitions is very close to the Parallax standard. |
| • JDForth has integrated help, and comes with a generous number of libraries and examples. |
The final product will be produced in two variations: Light and Professional.
All Professional version features are now implemented.
The anticipated release date for the Light version is mid-November 2008.
