    No, I never blinked an eye, I've never even seen a BASIC Stamp. It's just that creating an emulation of the PIC to run on the Prop is even more insane than creating a Z80 or 6502 emulator[noparse]:)[/noparse]
    Now you've opened up some new ideas. Maybe you'd rather create a prop emulator on the BASIC Stamp? [noparse]:)[/noparse] I can envision a small version of SPIN running there, in compiler format. Why not? We have PBASIC converted to SPIN. The alternate step is SPIN to PBASIC...

    There is an update to CSPIN located at the main CSPIN thread (see page 1 of this thread for links to CSPIN) for download. It includes a launchpad icon into the command line for typing those DOS commands.

    Bean has posted a new version of PropBASIC version 00.00.78.
    This just keeps on becoming more and more useful. The makers
    have put out a request for some sample test programs to pace
    the results. Sounds like a great opportunity to do some BASIC
    programming with the Propeller chip. It is also interesting to
    compare PropBASIC with PBASIC and create some before and
    after code for library use.

    SMALL SMALL C by Christof Eb.

    "I have now made some first experiments with the "small small c compiler for prop" ssp.exe.
    And -astonishing- in just a few evenings I got it a little bit working.... (NOT MORE!) Half of the work is to modify the pcodes in ssp4.c. The other half is to make it to make the special format of the .spin files. “small small C: ssp.exe” is compiled with ccssp.bat using the small C compiler. It makes assembler code, that works in the very limited cog ram, and resides in a .spin file. “test1.c” is compiled with cct.bat which uses ssp.exe. Sem2az.exe translates ; to ' for the comments. I spent about two evenings with the m4 macro tool. This gave me some positive results but the very special RETURN method for the prop for example made it necessary to modify the c-compiler a little bit. The very simple program test1.c gives an output frequency of about 13kHz at bit 7: That is about 30 times faster than the corresponding spin program, which reaches about 0.4 kHz. The compiler does not make ideal assembler code...Well, I do not yet know how to deal with large constants, how to multiply and divide, and a lot of other things...."

    How about an entry for Zog running C compiled with GCC for the ZPU architecture on the Prop?

    Version 0.5 of Zog runs FIBO compiled with GCC out of the box on a PropDemo board.

    This is a step up from GCC and MoCog, it's 32 bit.

    Well C is C is C to a large extent. But as you are accepting multiple implementations of the same language and already have Catalina C, ICC, BDS C for Z80 emulation and GCC for Motorola 6809 emulation then there must be room for another one.

    As you are probably aware the GCC compiler can be fitted out with different backends to generate code for different target architectures. The GCC for the ZPU is one such example. The ZPU architecture was designed by ZyLin to be a processor core for FPGA designs. The primary aim of ZPU is to use as few logic blocks in an FPGA as possible for a 32 bit CPU thus leaving more of a cheap FPGA available for custom logic. To that end it has no registers, is a stack based machine and uses byte wide instructions. ZyLin also did all the work to create a ZPU backend for GCC.

    The result is that a ZPU emulation is about the easiest way to get C code running on the Propeller. Hence my interest and the creation of Zog the ZPU emulator.

    The ZPU version of GCC for use with ZOG can be found here opensource.zylin.com/zpudownload.html

    Now, if one takes the source package there one can build GCC for the ZPU that compiles FORTRAN and C++....

    heater: added.
    This is really outstanding! I don't know how you do it.
    Keep up the remarkable magic. This is one of the finest language
    additions to our list.

    FORTRAN? It was the king of the IBM mainframe 350/60 series.
    There's a ton of academic software available including some
    of my unique university programs. I still have listings packed
    away, probably SNELLs Law of Refraction with graphics,
    Least Squares Parameters Fit to a Straight Line with graphics plotting,
    Cometary Graphics and Graphics Rendition Process of a comet's tail,
    Regression Progression Analysis, Axial Tilt, Phase Defect of Illumination,
    Sublimation, and Global Weather Prediction (on Mars).

    Maybe some of
    the routines survived from Computer Math Class too... though probably
    very few. (Remember the bug? The one that decided to walk, at a
    variable rate, from the center of the turntable to the outer edge while
    it was spinning, and it required a calculus program to solve how long it
    took to get there, no other information given...)

    It would be a key to the heart (or brain) if we got "Formula Translation"
    working on the Propeller. It would need to be a special version with
    access to the Prop's pins and added microcontroller functions. It would
    also need some kind of LMM to handle the arrays. Without arrays, you'd
    need to call it FORTRAN LITE.

    Actually if you read about the ZPU instruction set on the ZyLin site, or look in the Zog PASM implementation you will see that it is actually very small and simple. The genius behind that simplicity is ZyLin's and they did all the work in getting GCC to generate code for it.

    We don't need any LMM for FORTRAN or C to handle arrays. They already do. Within the bounds of the HUB RAM available. The plan is to go to using external memory for some much bigger programs. One target is to use SPI RAMs such that only a few pins are used. Execution speed will be slower but most Prop resources will still be available for other tasks unlike when using most Prop pins for RAM connection. It's a trade off worth exploring.

    No special version required for access to Prop pins etc I think. They can be accessed through file I/O in the Unix way. If they need to be wiggled fast you will need a external device driver to handle it anyway.

    Thanks for the encouragement, I may well look into the FORTRAN possibilities a bit harder now.
