Well hello, in the interest of FORTH on a Zynq, I found this thread so I thought I might resurrect it and see if there is still interest.
I came here by way of discovering Zepto Forth, which runs on a Cortex-M and works well apparently on a Pi Pico see here:
https://youtu.be/ri0VXzS5fiwSo I have heard a lot of talk about FORTH soft processors written in RTL, but why not run it on the Zynq ARM processor and interface to other stuff in the FPGA fabric (PL) ?
Otherwise I have been ocnsidering just using a Pi Pico and interface it to an Artix.
Any thoughts on this? Has anyone tired it or interested in trying it?
At this point I am questioning the value of any RTL Forth soft processor at all.
Who has experience interfacing Forth to an FPGA PL fabric that might comment on this? I need a way to read write RTL registers to control PL designs and an external Pi Pico seems like the simplest cheapest way to go about it, or possibly the same Zepto FORTH running on a Zynq ARM.
Thanks and regards.
