# 8051-eForth
22

3-
This repository contains a 30 year old variant of Dr. C.H. Ting's eForth for the 8051: John C. Wren ported the code from MASM to the [AVCASE51](https://github.com/jcwren/avcase51) tool chain for much improved performance, especially of arithmetic words.

The first commit is the baseline. One development target is porting to the SDCC toolchain (with sdas8051) and moudlarization in a similar way as [STM8 eForth](https://github.com/TG9541/stm8ef). Intended future hardware targets are recent MCS-51 based µCs like the Nuvoton N76E003 without external bus.

The first commit contains the code provided to me by JC Wren (29/May/2022). It was filtered with `dos2unix` and is otherwise the original baseline.

Development targets are:
8+
* porting to the SDCC toolchain (with sdas8051)
9+
* containerized tool chain with test and build in GitHub Actions
10+
* modularization in a similar way as [STM8 eForth](https://github.com/TG9541/stm8ef)

* target recent MCS-51 based µCs like the Nuvoton N76E003 without external bus
