New Chip (SEAforth 40C18) - New Challenge

[brucee]

There are a few of these floating around in Plan9 / Casella land.
Looks to me like a great control chip with lotsa goodies. This means
that Casella doesn't need another computer for control/input/output.

Mine arrived on Monday. Haven't played with it. There will be 9P on it
before you read this message by another keen enthusiast.

Sounds sound.

I was playing with the FORTHdrive (SEAforth-24 chip) for some time.
We tested it for a signal processing.

There is no magic we just needed a little bit different view to the
programming: ;-)

Since the cores are very limited (small RAM) the functionality of each
one is limited too.
So we prepared small functional "entities" as digital low-pass filter,
simple PLL etc.

But it is necessary to delivere the signal to appropriate node.
Thus we use signal "pipes" and "forks".

The chip itself is very interesting but more "mainstream solution" is
preferable... :-((
