SIMULATED SPIN by Dave Hein
http://forums.parallax.com/showthrea...Spin-Simulator 
Everything is open source under the MIT open source license. I'll add the notice in the next update. 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.

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.

FEMTOBASIC by MICHAEL GREEN
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).

An adaption created for use with Hitt Consulting's Propeller Dongle. This is a modified version of FemtoBasic intended for use with Hitt Consulting's Propeller Dongle or any other minimal Propeller board like the PropStick or PropStickUSB. It requires only the serial port used for programming, but will use an SD card on I/O pins 8-11 if present. Like FemtoBasic, it provides access to the I/O pins and counters and can use any EEPROM present for programs or data.

This is a modified version of FemtoBasic designed for the 4D Systems uOLED-96-Prop display with an integrated Propeller controller and uSD card socket. In addition to the usual FemtoBasic features including SD card support, this has a series of statements for controlling the display. The console is serial port because of the small size of the display and the absence of a standard keyboard interface. The archive includes a Basic version of 4D Systems' demo program.

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.

Hydra Tiny Basic (HT Basic) is based on Dr. Dobb’s Journal’s various implementations of Tiny Basic. My version is loosely based on the work of Li Chen Wang’s Palo Alto tiny Basic and more so the version by Gordon Brandly’s 68000. The language is rather simple but should implement most statements and function to make a surprisingly useful implementation.

ALTAIR MINOL TINY BASIC, by heater
By popular request (humanoido) here is PropAltair running the tiny basic version called MINOL. This makes the HUB RAM look huge! As it happens there is a MINOL on the altairz80 simulator site. -heater. Tiny Basic was implemented on the Intel 8080/8085 and the original archived discussion page, reconstructed (with help from Volume 17 of the CP/M User's Group archives), is found here: MINOL-Tiny BASIC with Strings in 1.75K Bytes. Note the letter by Erik T. Mueller. Erik T. Mueller said... Dear Mr. Warren: May 1, 1976. I have a Tiny BASIC program running on my Altair that I think you might be interested in. I call it MINOL. It fits in 1.75K memory. Unlike the other Tiny BASIC's, MINOL has a string-handling capability, but only single-byte, integer arithmetic and left-to-right expression evaluation. 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. While the original posting from "Dr. Dobb's Journal of Computer Calisthenics and Orthodontia" no longer links the Tiny Basic listing or file, just scroll down farther on the page and provided is a listing of the 8080/8085 Tiny Basic code manually typed which can be copied and pasted from the html page!

CATALINA C by ROSSH 
This is a FREE ANSI C compiler for the Propeller, based on LCC.(Catalina shells out to Homespun and Homespun is not fully open source.) There are versions available for Windows and Linux. There is a tutorial to get you started, as well as a technical description of various aspects of Catalina. It includes Documents and demos. Binaries and sources for Win32 and Linux are also in posts.

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

BDS C COMPILER by Leor Zolman, runs under the z80 emulator 
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.

PROPTINY - Jack Crenshaw's TINY language by HEATER
http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=25&m=355121
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. 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.

Additional updates to the documentation will be posted in the next week or so, currently enough is present to get up and running. Questions and comments are welcome. Please point out anything that needs clarification. Notice: PropForth is separate from propellerforth, which unfortunately has not been updated since 2008 and does not have any source available. PropForth has the spin source posted and can be modified in the source in addition to or in combination with modifying the forth dictionary. prof_braino notes that PropFORTH' author is Sal Sanci, same guy that made SPIN FORTH. PropForth is actually version 2 of Sal's SPIN FORTH. Instead of running out of the ROM based spin, it is completely run out of ram, the dictionary, tasker, and primatives are written in assembler.

PROPELLERFORTH by CLIFFE BIFFLE
http://propeller.wikispaces.com/Programming+in+Forth
http://www.cliff.biffle.org/software...orth/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
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.

SPHINX SPIN COMPILER by MIKE GREEN
web site by mparkSphinx 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.

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 
http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=25&m=397229"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" :) 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."

Atari 2600 with a 6507 processor emulator by Michael Kohn
"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.

I've been toying around with making a version of femtoBASIC in PropBasic instead of spin for speed. Here is my first crack at it. The hard-coded program has a tight 3 line loop that toggles pin 0. It's pretty fast 300,000 (simple) lines per second. So the pin toggles at 100KHz. I'm sure when I start fleshing it out, I'll need to switch to LMM so that will make it quite a bit slower (about 75,000 lines per second). My goal is to make an on-board BASIC for the S2 robot. Programming will be done by USB cable or hopefully some kind of wireless connection. *I uploaded a new version that uses LMM, speed is about 57,000 (simple) lines per second.

Bean continues to "WOW" us with his spectacular software for the Propeller. Now he's integrated "the love of our life," a BASIC Stamp 2 into the prop and it can directly run PBASIC Stamp 2 programs loaded from the Stamp IDE. You can run 4 stamps at the same time inside the prop cogs in one prop chip. Here's what he had to say: I have posted updated code that allows the "Basic Stamp IDE" to download PBASIC code into the propeller. The propeller emulates a stock BS2. When the propeller is started it waits to recieve a program from the "Basic Stamp IDE", then it runs that program. To download a new PBASIC program, you need to reset the propeller. NOTE: Only a limited number of the PBASIC commands are implemented so far. This is a work in progress...

Essentially I stripped out all the SD card support and replaced the display/keyboard with a serial console using the built-in USB port much like DongleBasic.

TrimSpin by Dave Hein
http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?141316-TrimSpin&highlight=trimspin
an idea about speeding up the Spin interpreter by supporting a subset of the Spin bytecodes. This allows the interpreter to be optimized for a smaller number of bytecodes. The TrimSpin interpreter executes random code almost twice as fast as the standard interpreter. Some functions, such as BYTEMOVE or the multiply operator run only slightly faster since they use similar code that the standard interpreter uses. The STRSIZE instruction runs about 2.5 times faster because it uses a dedicated routine instead of sharing it with the STRCOMP code. My motivation in doing this is mostly to see if it's possible to develop a virtual machine on the Prop that runs faster than the current Spin VM and is as compact, or even more compact. This might be useful for improving the peformance of Spin, or maybe it could be used for C.

The stepper motor driver is much simpler than the bot.f version. Separate cogs are used for the motors, ping and to calculate wheel velocities. Note that there are two sets of motion control commands which use predefined data tables to execute the commands. This index approach is more than adequate to drive the robot. For example, the command 9 F(orward) causes the robot to move forward at the highest velocity (ca. 12 rpm). This motion continues until the user executes the H(alt) command. Execution of G(o) causes the robot to continue its motion. The second group of commands are all prefixed with a G, i.e., GF (go forward). Executing, 9 GF with cause the robot to move forward 30 inches and then stop. Executing 2 GC (GCC, GTR, GTL) will cause the robot to turn 15 degrees in the direction defined by the specific command. Indices in this version are limited to 0 - 9 (10 items). The ping is set to automatically stop the robot if it approaches an obstacle by less than a preset value in inches.

Interface the micro:bit with the Propeller. Self-guided, individual learners should also review the MicroPython tutorials designed for the Mu editor (Windows, OSX and Linux) as published by MicroPython. The micro:bit hardware is a single board computer with enough capability to be used for games and applications. The 5x5 LED matrix, buttons, accelerometer, magnetometer, and Bluetooth radio provide enough sensors and communication devices for a number of projects. Micro:bit modules can be programmed in the MicroPython (text-based coding), the Microsoft Block Editor (drag-and-drop language), and JavaScript.

LANGUAGE NOTES & COMMENTS
Language Comparisons Embedded Basic is pretty much the same as FemtoBasic only faster and with different features. It can run stand-alone with a PS/2 keyboard and TV, or using PST or using Telnet (it requires a recompile for the different configurations). Embedded Basic is an interpreter like FemtoBasic. Embedded Basic is written using PropBasic...It's a little confusing. But Embedded Basic is a Basic interpreter that is written in a Basic compiler (PropBasic). PropBasic compiles to assembly.

Language Versions Comment by Mike Green. He notes the same language, FemtoBASIC has a number of reconfigured versions.

 Is there a TINY FORTH? REPLY BY PROF_BRAINO: I believe "tiny" is just a redundant adjective when describing forth in general. An exception would be something like FPC which is a PC based forth which has about 3000 zillion functions for every possible thing the guys could think of. Which was really cool, but most of the stuff never gets used, so its kind of a waste. And it was too much for me to keep track. In the case of propforth, the memory foot print keeps getting smaller and resources available to the user for applications keeps increasing. So "tiny" would apply to each kernel compared to the last. Propforth 5.3 will have the smallest memory foot print and most resources available for user applications so far compared to the previous releases. Also, it will be noticeably faster due to optimization of critical functions. The "paged assembler" functions will permit very small optimized functions to be brought in and out of memory on the fly, and is easier to use than previous assembler optimization implementation. So, the short answer is 5.0 for now, and will be 5.3 when it comes out.

The PropGCC back end should be able to accommodate any of the languages; we've only had time to test it with C and C++. As Steve mentioned, community input to support additional languages would be very welcome (it would be cool to have a Fortran compiler for the Propeller :-)).

Jeff Dege comments, "Maybe I'm an old fart, but I thought that the standard response of a real computer programmer, forced to develop in a programming language that lacked essential features, was to design their own programming language and to write a compiler that accepted that language and output code in the language that one didn't want to work in. It's been standard practice since at least 1976, when Kernighan and Plauger published the source to RatFor in "Software Tools". I did it, once, when I was forced to work on a project in Business Basic. I called it "RatBas", though my co-workers called it "Bas-Ackwards". Does no one do this anymore?"

Convert spin to PASM. For very simple spin objects this is now possible using a combination of propgcc and spin2cpp. I timed it and got 16 cycles/toggle in the new version, versus 976 cycles/toggle for the original. So the converted version is about 61x as fast.

http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?142748-spin2cpp-version-0.99
This version has a number of bug fixes to compile Spin objects that previously were not working right. It also has a (very preliminary) converter from PASM syntax to GNU GAS syntax. There are two ways to use this: (1) If you specify --gas on the command line while converting to C or C++, instead of a "dat" array spin2cpp will output inline GAS assembly. This makes the resulting C/C++ somewhat closer to readable, since the PASM part is now inline assembly. (2) If you specify --gas --dat then the DAT section is output as a GAS .S file. For ordinary use I would *not* recommend using --gas, since the assembler built in to spin2cpp actually works quite well.
 
DEBUG PROGRAMMING METHODS
PBASIC-like DEBUG for Spin by Phil

One of the things I've always missed when programming the Propeller is the ability to write something like DEBUG DEC x, CR in my program and, when it executes, have a terminal window open automatically to display the output. So for the past few days, I've been working on a way to do just that in Spin.
Parallax Serial Terminal by Jeff Martin

Some_posts_of_the_old_PASD_thread.pdf‎
A suite of software components which enable end-users to debug Propeller assembly language code at the source level using a remote (USB attached) Windows PC. PASD supports setting multiple break points, single-step execution, memory inspection/modification of COG RAM, inspection of Main RAM, label recognition, and I/O pin state inspection. The debugger suite consists of a Windows application, a spin object and a short Debug Kernel which must be inserted at the beginning of the code to be debugged. The Debug Kernel is only 12 longs in size, and makes possible communication with the PASD spin driver, which runs into own Cog. The PASD spin driver communicates over the Propeller’s serial programming interface with the PASD Windows application running on an attached PC. Except for pins 30 and 31 (the Propeller’s serial programming interface pins) all Propeller IO pins are freely available during debugging.

This is the Winbond flash driver posted earlier and the FemtoBasic variant used with that. There's a text editor (Ouroboros) included that's far enough along so you can edit a 39 line x 80 character display buffer and save (and re-edit) the files. From the text editor, you can run a named program on the flash drive (like FemtoBasic). I plan to continue debugging and improving the text editor, then start on some kind of simple compiler, maybe for a Basic similar to PBasic.

This is version 1.2 of a text editor for the Propeller, intended as an add-on tool for PropDos users. Launching the Propedit will allow you to create/load/save text files. This version is limited to a single page of text, but that will be increased in later revisions. Think of this as NOTEPAD for PropDOS.

If you build it with BSTC using the script in the zipfile it's about 22K in size. If you don't need the file I/O you could remove about 5 or 6K from that. Most users aren't familiar with vi, so you would probably need to modify it with a more user-friendly interface.

Here's a version without file I/O. I kept the ReadFile and WriteFile routines, but commented out the file I/O code. This way other file storage code could be added to store to something like EEPROM. I also include clib.spin, which is used instead of clibsd.spin. Just copy these to files to the same directory as the other vi files and build vi1.spin.

Download the Propeller OS from the Object Exchange. It has the beginnings of an editor in it including a general purpose line/screen editor that allows one to edit the screen buffer. There are provisions for exiting when other control codes are entered, like for moving from screen to screen. It was never developed further.
