SIMULATED SPIN by Dave Hein
http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?127976-Spin-Simulator
Everything is open source under the MIT open source license. I'll add the notice in the next update. I spent a few days writing a Spin simulator. The attached zip file contains a first cut at the simulator. I've implemented most of the Spin bytecodes, except for the cogxxx and lockxxx ones. Also the value for cnt is always zero. I'll transate the system time into a cnt value at some point. Pin-related operations don't really do anything. I also haven't implemented the bit read and write functions. The simulator runs in a DOS window on a Windows machine. Also, the basic I/O drivers are different. Instead of using FullDuplexSerial and FSRW the simulator uses conio and fileio. These drivers provide the same basic methods such as rx, tx, popen, pread, etc. You can use the Parallax Prop Tool, BST or homespun to compile the spin code and generate a binary file. spinsim loads the binary file and executes it.

HOMESPUN SPIN COMPILER by MPARK(Not fully open source)
propeller.wikispaces.com/Homespun+Spin+Compiler
http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?p=749832
This is a command-line Spin compiler that reads .spin files and outputs .eeprom files. It is written in C# and runs on Windows with the .Net framework and on Linux with Mono. It generates output that is identical to Proptool's (except the occasional least-significant bit in floating-point constants), which was the original goal. It takes Spin source and generates a .eeprom file. At the moment, I think it will parse anything that Proptool will, and it should generate identical bytecode (except for maybe the least-significant bit in floating-point constants).

BST BRADS SPIN TOOL by BRADC
www.fnarfbargle.com/bst/
www.fnarfbargle.com/bst.html
The bst suite of tools comprises : # bstl - The command line loader. This little application simply allows you to load pre-compiled .binary and .eeprom files into your propeller. It is a command line application that takes optional parameters and a file name. # bstc - The command line compiler. bstc is a completely Parallax syntax compatible SPIN and PASM compiler and linker. In addition to being able to compile and load a Propeller, it has a few additional features often requested by users (like being able to emit a list file, some basic optimization, and zip file generation). # bst - The GUI IDE. bst is a fairly complete Integrated Development Environment that aims (and still falls short) to be eventually comparable and compatible with the Parallax Propeller Tool. bst is structured to be a work-alike to the Parallax Propeller Tool so that new users will find the Parallax documentation familiar enough to be able to start from scratch without being plunged into an unfamiliar environment. Like bstc, bst has several features not found in other Propeller development tools, such as an integrated code listing window, basic serial debug terminal and complete project file management. bst also allows you to associate each editor window to a Propeller to allow easy management of multiple Propeller projects.

PROPASM by CLIFF L. BIFFLE
www.cliff.biffle.org/software/propeller/propasm/
This is a command-line assembler for the Parallax Propeller. Features
  • Supports the same syntax and mnemonics as the Parallax Propeller Tool's built-in assembler.
  • Generates files that can be loaded with the Propeller Tool.
  • Supports input in US-ASCII or UTF-8, and allows the full Unicode character set in labels and identifiers.
  • Runs on any platform and architecture with Java 5 available.
  • Really fast (assembles average-size programs in under 10ms on a MacBook Pro).
  • Extensible architecture allows for future enhancements like macros, alternative mnemonics, or new directives.
  • Modular assembler core and instruction set model also make an excellent code generation stage for compilers.
  • Open-source (GPL).

The Propeller Low-level Assembly Aggregator (lft), Assembly Language Complier: Plasma is a small (637 lines of source code) tool for compiling and concatenating propeller assembly language (PASM) and binary data. It extends PASM with some new features, most notably ARM-like constant pools. When I began to work on my Turbulence demo, I soon realized that I was going to have to write my own assembler. The one from Parallax was bulky and inflexibly locked to the spin environment for which it was designed, and had to be run through wine. The open source alternatives weren't stable enough at the time. Consequently, I hacked together some prolog code and a bison parser. I've decided to publish the source code here, as free software, in the hope that somebody will find it useful and inspiring.

FEMTOBASIC by MICHAEL GREEN
obex.parallax.com/objects/28/
This is a simple Basic interpreter for the Propeller. It supports a keyboard and either a VGA or TV display as well as an optional SD card with PC compatible FAT file system. It runs on the Propeller Demo Board, Protoboard, and Hydra. On the Hydra, the VGA version doesn't work with the SD card because the I/O pins involved conflict. An extended version with support for the IR Buddy is included as an example of extending the interpreter. Fix: SD card turned off when unmounted (thanks Cluso99).

MITS ALTAIR 4K BASIC by HEATER The 8080 emulation for the Propeller will run MITS Altair Basic. You can now enter, edit and run programs written in one of Microsoft's first basics on your Prop Demo board! This is mostly the same as the CP/M for the Prop package (2.1) but: 1. Altair extended basic v4 is loaded into memory instead of CP/M. 2. Added emulation of the 8080 RST instructions as the BASICS use them even if CP/M does not. 3. Added emulation of the Altair's front panel switch register which is used by BASICS to determine serial port configuration. This build still includes disk emulation on an sd card but will run with no sd card present.

Additions to TB include CALL machine-language sub- routines, multiple statements on a line (like TBX), and optional "LET" in variable assignments. Memory locations of the form (H,L) can be used interchangably with variables, permitting DIM-like operations. Sincerely, Erik T. Mueller... This information was updated 27 times.

DUMBO BASIC by ROSSH (beta release ) will eventually be a substantially complete GWBASIC clone. Compiles under Catalina using the large memory model (requires 512KB XMM RAM). While not complete, this release (0.3) can be used to execute complete basic programs, such as Star Trek and the classic ELIZA psychoanalyst program - albeit slowly (e.g. it can take 20-30 seconds for Eliza to respond to each line of input). Dumbo BASIC is based on "Mini Basic" by Malcolm McLean, but is heavily modified to add many common basic statements that Mini Basic lacks, new types, and also some tweaks to support GWBASIC style syntax. It currently executes basic programs about 100 lines per second - about 10 times faster than Bywater BASIC. The ELIZA basic program and several versions of Star Trek are included, along with Dumbo BASIC binaries for the TriBladeProp and the HYDRA. There is also a DOS executable (the DOS version requires MinGW and GCC to compile).

GCC C compiler Somewhere along the line it has been forgotten that the Prop can be programmed with the GCC C compiler. That is, there is a version of GCC that compiles for the 6809 and the resulting binaries are runnable under MoCog. MoCog is not perfected yet so perhaps this is a bit premature but early test programs for MoCog were created with GCC. - heater. The GNU Compiler Collection includes front ends for C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, and Ada, as well as libraries for these languages (libstdc++, libgcj,...). Some people have suggested porting one of the existing open source GPL C compilers: GCC (Gnu C Compiler) or SDCC (Small Device C Compiler). Both these were written to be retargetable, so a back end for the Propeller should be possible, again probably using the LMM. - "The home of GCC for 6809 is here www.oddchange.com/gcc6809/ MoCog can be found in the MoCog thread. Getting the compiled binary into a form ready load into MoCog with say a Spin "file" statement is a bit of a trick with objdump and or hexdump under Linux . I'd probably need to provide some instructions when MoCog is a bit more mature." - heater

8080/Z80 C Compiler: Now Open Source and Public Domain! In 1979, I wrote a compiler for a subset of the pre-Standard ("K&R Classic") C Programming Language. The package was developed on, and targeted for, CP/M-80 floppy-based systems with as little as 32K of available system RAM. Originally intending to publish the source code in BYTE, I was eventually persuaded to turn the project into a retail product. Now BDS C's commercial potential is well in the past. Until recently, I had not been aware of the continuing international interest in 8-bit CP/M (and derivative) systems... upon this discovery, I found no reason not to render BDS C, along with all of its source code (including the 8080 assembly language compiler/linker sources), free to the public.

Runs on the demo board. Some time ago I worked my way through Jack Crenshaw's famous series of articles "Let's Build a Compiler." For those who know a little about programming but nothing about creating compilers, this is a fabulous introduction to that black art. Even if creating a compiler is not your goal, the simple parsing techniques described are worth a look at as they have many uses elsewhere.
compilers.iecc.com/crenshaw/ As I worked through the series, I worked the examples in C rather than Pascal as used by Jack and generated code for the Propeller rather than the original target, Motorola 68000. The result is an implementation of the TINY language defined in the series that generates PASM code for the Prop to be run under a Large Memory Model (LMM) virtual machine. TINY is a very simple block structured language in the style of Pascal and all. See the README.txt for instructions on building the compiler and compiling/asembling/downloading TINY programs. A simple example program with most TINY features implemented so far is included.

PROPELLERFORTH by CLIFFE BIFFLE

http://www.cliff.biffle.org/software/propeller/forth/index.php
Cliffe Biffle has created an open source complete Forth development system for the Propeller, called PropellerForth. If you are not familiar with what Forth is about, its basically a programming language and development environment that runs entirely on the Propeller. You do not need a PC to program your Propeller board (Prop Demo, Hydra supported) anymore. Once you use the Propeller Tool to upload the single binary image all your other development tasks are performed on the Propeller directly. Simply plug in a keyboard, hook up a TV, and off you go! I was a little confused a while back about what Forth is really about, so the best analogy I can give would be: It's like an open programmable dynamic "operating system" that can be modified on the fly, in real-time, while the system is running. Your best bet is to go download this rather amazing peice of work, and install it on your Propeller system. More information and links to file downloads available on the PropellerForth homepage.

Proof of Concept Thumb VM implementation attached. Not comprehensively tested but it runs the embedded Thumb VM Program which proves the most common functionality, including branch and subroutine call and return. It increments a value in a fixed location in hub memory, Tv_Text displays it. Currently uses an in-Cog subroutine call stack but external stack is easy enough to add and it shouldn't have too much impact on speed. A casual stopwatch test suggests it's delivering just under 1MIPS at 80MHz. That gives PASM around a 20:1 speed advantage. For "mov a,b" and similar PASM has around a 12:1 advantage. Thumb VM is approximately three times slower than LMM, but there's no reason Thumb VM cannot support native 32-bit instructions LMM-style...

META2 COMPILER by MIKE GREEN
http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=25&m=233272
For those of you with experience in compiler writing ... Here's a little work-in-progress. This is a compiler-compiler that runs on a Propeller (5MHz xtal, 128K EEPROM, attached SD card, programming port as console). It reads a source program from a file on the SD card and compiles it into Spin in another file on the SD card. The language involved is a simple compiler writing language called Meta2 that dates back to the 1960's and has been used to bootstrap several compilers including a Pascal compiler. It needs a little work before I consider it suitable for compiling anything other than itself, particularly the addition of a simple symbol dictionary, but I thought it might be interesting for others to see it now that it can compile itself. The support library (object) may also be generally useful since it has routines to scan Spin and C type comments, convert Spin constant formats to binary, and recognize identifiers and string constants. The actual input and output files are 32K areas in the EEPROM. The EEPROM writing is buffered to minimize the amount of writing. There's a very very simple descriptive document included.

SPHINX SPIN COMPILER by MIKE GREEN

http://www.sphinxcompiler.com/ web site by mpark
Sphinx is a Spin compiler—written in Spin—that runs on the Parallax Propeller. Although memory constraints prevent Sphinx from compiling the full gamut of Spin programs (see Limitations at url), it is not a toy compiler. It can compile many complex and substantial programs, including those containing Propeller assembly language, such as the Parallax tv and graphics objects. Sphinx can also compile itself. Hardware requirements: Sphinx requires a Propeller system with the following peripherals: * SD card interface (fsrw-compatible) and SD card. * NTSC video interface and NTSC display device. * PS/2 keyboard interface and PS/2 keyboard.

MOCOG V0.60 (6809 VARIANT) by HEATER . Introducing MoCog an emulation of the Motorola 6809 microprocessor for the Propeller. In the few slack moments I have nowadays I have been converting the ZiCog Z80 emulator into a 6809 emulator. As usual with me this is a very unfinished early release. There is a lot of code in place but very little is tested. So far it just about single steps its way through a short loop of
NOP
ADDA $01
JMP $0000
No flag setting is in place. This should compile with BST or homespun for the Prop Demo Board if the following defines are set: "PropDemoBoard" and "SingleStep". Just compile, download and watch the output in the terminal window of BST or ProTerminal or whatever. Hit any key to take single steps through the loop.

Bean's pasm based compiler - The PropBASIC compiler will compile BASIC code into Propeller assembly language (PASM). The compiler is based on the SX/B compiler that was written for the SX processor. The compiler does a "compile in place". In other words each line is translated directly into PASM code. This results in very fast code. PropBASIC is still in development, but some example programs are posted in this thread

I have 3 versions of the Interpreter now running simultaneously (executing the same spin code), Cog 5 runs the Rom Interpreter, Cog 6 runs the Ram Interpreter (basically the Rom Interpreter in Ram with a couple of mods), Cog 7 runs the Cluso Interpreter (the faster modified version under test in Ram). This allows me to compare the results and debug the ClusoInterpreter. Without the debugger, I will be able to check the speed differences between the Rom and Cluso versions.

DIY C - A toolchain which will allow the free LCC compiler to be used for C programming of the Propeller. The toolchain will create self-contained executables for download into the Propeller chip or C programmed objects to be incorporated within and used by a Spin program. It is a command line toolchain but designed to be easily callable by GUI front-ends or IDE's. Primary goal is creating small executables rather than delivering high speed of execution. Proof of concept and prototype working. Components are currently being re-written, improved and enhanced ( Sep 2008 ).

Urban Müller's Brainf*** BF IMPLEMENTATION BY JAZZED "BF is a programmer's toy; it is an incredibly obscure "write only language" (this means "once you write it, you may as well forget about reading and understanding it after just a few hours" [noparse]:)[/noparse] The BF interpreter is implemented in less than 120 PASM instructions. Various trivial demo program strings such as "Hello World!" are included. The "99 Bottles" demo is default. The PASM interpreter has an interface to serial input/output provided by the demo code; the interface should be easily changed to a keyboard/TV with a little work. The _XINFREQ is set to 6MHz (PLL16), so watch out." (Steve) "I'm not so sure that BF, or something similar, is totally bereft of practicality. It may well be an appropriate language for adaptive programming via a genetic algorithm. It has a small alphabet and is much more DNA-like than typical procedural languages. Moreover, once a program is optimized, there is no reason it couldn't be translated back into something that runs more quickly." -Phil

"I was looking for an idea for a cool Parallax Propeller project to work on and I figured I'd try out an Atari 2600 emulator. This chip seems like a good microcontroller to do this on since it has 8 cores running at 80MHz, plus a library for outputting to a TV or VGA monitor. I already had C and Java code (links at web site) I wrote for emulating a 6510 CPU (close enough to the 6507) so I wrote a c2spin program to convert the C code to the built in Spin language of the Propeller.

    Well. If you are happy to run interpreters then why not the Z80 emulator? Then the Prop can be programmed in at least:

    ACT
    Ada
    Algol
    APL
    Microsoft Basic (many versions)
    C (BDSC, HITECH etc)
    COBOL
    COMAL
    Forth
    FORTRAN
    Lisp
    Modula 2
    Mumps
    muSIMP
    Pascal
    PILOT
    PL/I
    PL/M
    PLMX
    SPL

    That should keep you going for a while[noparse]:)[/noparse]

    Some of these may require use of the CP/M operating system many do not. For example I have been flashing patterns on LEDs of a Prop Demo board from a program written in C for the Z80 (BDS C) with no CP/M required, just the compiled binary with some support I/O routines in Spin.

    With CP/M and enough external RAM (e.g. TriBladeProp or Hydra) all of these can be compiled on the Prop itself!!

    Believe it or not, RPG4 is still going strong. I sometimes program in that for my business contracts with IBM.
    You really can't break it.

    Heater, you may have given me a reason to relearn CPM. I did a lot of CPM programming in the early 80's for business systems.

    You can add Z80 assembly to the list too. Sort of obvious I know. I've just been writing a big project in Z80 assembly. It is soon going to go >20k and it is nice knowing there is still plenty of memory left for big string arrays. I've been writing string and math functions in assembly. Strings especially are not all that complex in assembly. mid, left, right, instr etc. And very fast - much faster than in C or Basic. The nice thing about CP/M is there are 36 function calls you can call with a call to 0005. Useful things like print a string, or get a character from the keyboard, or get a whole line of text from the keyboard, open a file, close a file, read in 128 bytes, write 128 bytes etc. With these functions, file access becomes easy in assembly, and also is extremely fast. Heater, if you are writing C without using CP/M, you can look at borrowing bits of the bdos/fdos/bios code to run those functions in your C code.

    I know this might be going off on a tangent, but it could be useful for those writing languages like Basic for the Propeller. If you have string example code in 8080 or Z80 assembly, it could be translated to PASM and incorporated into these new languages. I guess this is from the perspective of someone who understands 8080/Z80/Basic/C but doesn't understand PASM or Spin. Or I could go and learn PASM and Spin... *grin*

    It would be fantastic to expand languages like femtobasic so most/all basic commands are included.

    I was just taking a "power nap" and when I woke up had this crazy idea in my head. Why not make use of some of those illegal 8080/Z80 opcodes to enable putting raw PASM instructions inline with the Z80 code ?

    That is, whilst the emulator is executing Z80 ops from external memory certain undefined ops would cause it to execute PASM instructions LMM/XMM style. especially things like rdlong/wrlong to get easy communication to other spin that is running. Or easy access to ina/outa and the rest.

    JMH,

    You are indeed wrong, but I forgive you smile.gif

    With XMM, program size is no longer an issue. There is already one compiler (Catalina) that can build XMM programs for the Prop, and one hardware platforms (i.e. the Hydra) to run them on - 96Kb is supported "out of the box", and I hope to support 288Kb on this platform shortly.

    As soon as Cluso99 gets around to delivering me a TriBladeProp, Catalina will support that, allowing Prop programs up to 1 or 2Mb. I believe ImageCraft is not far behind in this area as well.

    Forgive me. I was speaking of non-XMM applications. The Hydra solution is very limited to RAM expansion below 64-96 kilobytes. Above that, the card's RAM is severely limited to speeds allowing for only block transfers and not Random access.

    I dismissed that solution over a year ago because of this limitation.

    I must have missed the XMM code that provides a working solution that one can currently can implement NOW. I apologize.

    JMH,

    No worries. I agree the Hydra is a limited solution. But even 96K is useful - and it is available NOW.

    How about LISP for the Hydra? Written in C. Takes 96K. Took me about 10 minutes to find it, compile it, load it and run it.

    Ross.

    Edit: I'll include the source for this in the next release of Catalina

    Edit: added super trvial garbage collection to make it possible to execute more than just a couple of lines of lisp before running out of space!

    Edit: new version uses short pointers instead of long pointers - allows for over 3 times as many lisp nodes.

    All,

    I have updated the LISP executable (see earlier posts). When I first compiled and tested it I hadn't realized just how quickly you run out of RAM - and this version has no built-in garbage collection.

    I have added the simplest possible memory management, so that at least it can now execute the first few LISP examples given on Chaitin's web page.

    I wouldn't have bothered except that I see some people had downloaded the previous executable. I'll try and find a better implmentation to include in Catalina's next release.

    Try XLISP. It's not pure LISP like Chaitin's, but is more suitable for applications. If anyone wants to start LISPing seriously, they should download PLT Scheme. There are some Scheme implementations that could be ported to Catalina.
