Forth chips are awesome, as is Forth. I've
never messed with the
Novix chips (NC4000 series?) but I have a couple of Harris RTX2010 chips
here, as well as one of Chuck Moore's new GA144s. 144 hly simple cores
on a chip! Great stuff. I'll have that on a board soon.
Several of the instruments on payloads we have flown (including 2
instruments going to Pluto) use RTX2010's for the instrument
controllers. (JHU-APL built those instruments (LORRI and PEPSSI) and did
a great job with them and their FORTH software.) So in the category of
out-of-this-world performance and reliability, RTX2010 is one of my
favorite CPU's too. Let us know when you do something cool with yours!
