Tachyon V4 "DAWN" - exploring new worlds

  • Most of the kernel seems to be working fine and I even have EEPROM working too. Next step is to build in the BACKUP word and then test out the file system.

    There's an "EXTEND-V4.FTH" in the testing folder as well which I am using for testing at present.

    I've started a user editable document with bits of information about Tachyon+. It's a bit haphazard at the moment as I document things as I think of them but I will tidy up the format later.

    Having recently discovered forth, I find it fascinating. I've done a little bit of fiddling with some forths but haven't been able to make the jump to doing anything productive with it.

    I see that there is a good bit of stuff in Peter's signature- I need to take a day off of work and dig into those and try to get some stuff going with VGA/LCD, etc...

    Welcome and warning Tachyon and now T+ is not ansi standard forth! It is optimized for the propeller platform (size and speed). You will be amazed at how much functionality can be contained in this system. You will find help with syntax... on this thread for T+ and the other Tachyon thread for V3.

    Have fun.

  • Tachyon+ now has BACKUP to EEPROM. Now to move on to the file system.

    There seems to be a lot more memory available with this new version, so I will try to keep it that way. While I am debugging EASYFILE I wrote a simple decompiler in 394 bytes which is in itself a good proof of a working system.

  • So it seems that Peter's T4 has broken the 'you get 2 of 3 good properties' rule .... the price is perfect, the code is faster, and it takes less space.
    Bravo Peter!

    Well I've compiled the filesystem and without moving anything to upper EEPROM I still have about 11k available, enough to add EASYNET and an application without going to upper EEPROM still.
    The headers for constants and variables, private words etc can be removed too, saving more memory again.

  • Peter, could the XI2C clock stretching routines be moved into the native code base?
  • Peter, could the XI2C clock stretching routines be moved into the native code base?

    I will have to revisit that, do you have that section of code or requirements handy. Do you mean move to the I2C routines in EXTEND?

  • Could you just replace the I2C with the XI2C routines in EXTEND.fth? Would there be much of a performance hit?
    I am not at my code machine, but can post what I think is properly working code (works with the BNO055 module, and a DAC chip on another project. The only catch is that there is an infinite waiting loop, which could get hung if something really goes wrong on the device side.
    Cheers!

    WOW, well done peter
    @PaulRowntree, I would prefer we have two separate routines, one with and wihtout clock stretching, I have yet to need clock stretching with any I2C device I have used to date with Tachyon. Your "the only catch..." statement bothers me technically.

  • I see your point DP. Mind you, a timeout could be added.

    Work progresses slowly on V4 since I have real work and V3 to distract amongst many other things. I've fixed up several glitches and of course added many new features besides. I'm looking at making EELOAD a standard so that I can save source files in EEPROM by name and load them by name, so having more then 64kB EEPROM would be helpful. I'm using this at the moment to load up the decompiler and other utilities that I only need during debugging.

    The upper EEPROM ROMs have also been included. Even though I am still tweaking EASYFILE there is a lot than can be done with this current version, which reminds me, I need to enable the AUTORUN feature which is simple enough to do.
    ( 0945 $212C ok )   lsroms

    0848 VGA32x15  
    0308 HSUART    
    1900 F32       
    

    I am loving the keyboard shortcuts as even though I had some in V3, they were limited in that they were hard-coded but V4 uses a key action table which can be modified dynamically. A ^? gives me quick stats:
    CODE:$2400 x8704 bytes   NAME:$628A x4470 bytes   DATA:$7670 x96 bytes    x16010 bytes free    Data Stack (0)
    

    EXTEND will have extra dictionary methods added that transparently handle dictionary searches in either RAM or EEPROM and makes it easy to move entries between the two. So rather than the V3 COMPACT operation which moved everything across to hashed blocks in EEPROM and created a cache in RAM in addition to further RAM entries, V4 only has a RAM or EEPROM dictionary entry, no caches or block buffer.

    SESSION DUMP:
    Startup with EXTEND then running EELOAD to load the decompiler source from EEPROM. The dictionary listing is executed from a ^W shortcut.
    If you have a proper wide ANSI/VT100 enabled terminal with color then try WWORDS.

  • I've just employed a neat little trick to shave 126 code bytes off EXTEND which means that this could easily save 512 bytes of hub RAM once I load the filesystem and WIZnet server modules. Doesn't sound like much but I basically told the ; word which terminates definitions with an EXIT to do a check beforehand and if the last wordcode compiled was a call to high level code ($200..$7400) then set the "jump" bit in that wordcode and skip compiling an EXIT. Saves time and memory everytime and I'm looking at adding some extra op codes to make other common operations more compact without sacrificing speed.

    As I was loading the filesystem for testing I accidentally loaded it on twice without the normal FORGET that's used. In V3 I couldn't do this because there is hardly any memory left after loading the filesystem and I normally do a COMPACT operation to move the dictionary to upper EEPROM to free up some memory. Well V4 shows it still has over 2k available (includes decompiler and EEFILE) but of course if I move the dictionary to EEPROM that it would have close to 12k free. This gives me some idea of how much memory would be available if I load V4 with EASYFILE and EASYNET, that's a lot of memory left over.

    Another trick to save memory is to be able to make the cog images for the Tachyon VM and the serial/pingpong cog as ROMS in upper EEPROM. That would require some tricks to initially boot as normal, ROM them and then have a very small bootloader in place that would have to be written purely in Spin (since it is in mask ROM) to at least load the Tachyon cog from upper EEPROM. At present I use that memory for about 3K of buffers but sometimes I might want more code, less buffers, so I will have a play with that sometime to see what I can come up with as the need arises.

    Loading cogs directly with ROMs from upper EEPROM by name with LOADCOG seems to work quite well and I may combine the purely PASM part with some additional Tachyon source code as part of the ROM so that these ROMs are more like OBEX objects, except of course we can just load and use them at runtime from the "jukebox". Logically it makes sense to extend this mechanism from EEPROM to SD/FAT32 and SPI Flash as well and to make that work transparently too. If it can't find it in EEPROM then it may find it in serial Flash or SD. Loading ROMs or even source code as required can be viewed as being similar to handling code overlays, thus increasing the code capacity of the Prop, even with it's meager 32k.

  • I've just employed a neat little trick to shave 126 code bytes off EXTEND which means that this could easily save 512 bytes of hub RAM once I load the filesystem and WIZnet server modules.
    .
    .
    .
    So you are saying after loading EXTEND, EASYFILE and EASYNET and "compacting" you have 12K left over? Oh I hope so, my Tachyon Forth code is chucky but getting better ;)

    That's about the gist of it. You can even keep your utilities loaded up in EEPROM/Flash/SD for loading as required too.

    As code size shrinks and functionality grows, I feel, Peter is on his way to find for Tachyon, what Dirac found for elementary particles: Remove all the electrons you have and one more and you willl find the positron. So he will find a complementary memory, that can store code that was shrinked below nothing! What I whatch here, is funtastic, more not to say for now!

    What do you need the doc for? Are you sick? :)

    Now if you want to find out about V4 you could document your discoveries along the way. Be aware that some little niceties such as backspace on a new name or number or string is not enabled yet but nothing that stops you from using it. I remember that I had started up a document to introduce it so you could add to a section of that document if you like.

    Yes, Peter is right. Tachyon is self documenting. It only takes some time to realize that.
  • The EASYFILE filesystem is working now that I've gotten around "tuit". There's over 10k free at present without using upper EEPROM. I will upload a 32k binary shortly and rather than using header files I just configure the module at runtime, in my case I type "P8 SDPINS" where P8 is a constant holding the 4 bytes representing the pin numbers to use. So to make it work with your pcb just specify the pins as one long so that if CLK=4, MOSI=6, MISO=7, and SDCS=5 then you would set the pins with "$05070604 SDPINS" or even make that long a constant as I do.

    I will also update EASYFILE to include methods I use in the P2 version such as FC@ (file Cfetch) and FC! (file Cstore) with 32-bit offset whereas the XC@ methods can only address files within the first 4GB of the SD.

    So you're saying you have a Forth interpreter, network stack, and filesystem implemented in only 20K of hub memory? Wow!

    Not quite, I haven't converted the network module yet but the FAT32 virtual memory filesystem only take 4kB but I expect that even with the network loaded I will still have a few kB left but by moving the dictionary to upper EEPROM I could have 12kB available. So it is possible to have a standard 32k image with "the lot" whereby you have the option of moving the dictionary to upper EEPROM to then have 12kB which for a Tachyon application is HUGE.

  • Peter,

    I'm kind of late to the Tachyon party.
    Do you have a document that tells what hardware this should run on?
    Or hardware requirements to run this the way "most" users would?

    Thanks!
    Dave
  • The good news is that it will run on the bare minimum just as fast as it would if you had more eeprom etc. I will have a binary uploaded as soon as it back that includes the fat32 filesystem that runs with plenty of ram left over in a normal 32k binary. The system automatically detects if it is a 5 or 1MHz crystal.

    That's the doc I was referring to, I gave up on editing the V3 doc.
  • Here's the 32k binary for the current kernel and FAT32 with a default baud rate of 115200. Since this is only 32k it doesn't have the ROMs in upper eeprom but it is very very easy to compile the kernel yourself and load EXTEND and EASYFILE.

    The latest version of this file can also be accessed in the Tachyon binaries Dropbox folder.

    EASYNET has been compiled although not functional yet but it shows 2k free with over 9k in the dictionary. So that is very close to the 12k that I expect to be free once the dictionary is moved to upper eeprom yet even that 2k is very useful too. Now to make this work.....

  • At this point, is there any point for a newbee to start with Tachyon 3?
  • V3 is what I am using for my work and while V4 is certainly different under the hood it still works the same way from the programmer's perspective. The main task I have at present in "converting" V3 code is more to do with the fact that I haven't enhanced V4 enough yet but I want to be able to see how it performs and how much memory it saves. If you write code for V3 then it will more than likely run as is for V4. So don't be afraid to dive in just because there's a change of tide, water is water and Tachyon is Tachyon.
