Mecrisp-Stellaris Forth for the STM32 Cube ecosystem. 

Forth is an interactive and extensible language, with built-in lexical analysis (tokenizer, parser) and compiler, needs less than 20 !KiB Flash and 4 !KiB RAM, unbelievable for a self-contained (self-hosted) system. 

Forth is perfect for embedded systems where some sort of user interactivity like CLI and extensibility (at runtime) are needed. 

C & Forth in the [[WebHome#21st_Century_Forth][21st Century]]. C and Forth are both about 50 years old. To combine the strength of this two worlds results in a powerful system that outperforms other much newer systems like Python. Good design withstands the test of time.

---+ USB, BLE and other Middlewares

!STM32WB Forth without BLE, USB, Filesystems, RTOS etc. is not complete, to build this in Forth by myself from the scratch overwhelms me. I would like to go the reverse way and use the STM tools like !CubeIDE, HAL, !CubeMX and integrate the Mecrips Forth into it. Forth as an interactive extension for the STM32 ecosystem. Mecrisp Forth running as a [[CmsisRtos][CMSIS-RTOS]] thread.

Already done
   * Integrated in [[CubeEcosystem][STM32 Cube ecosystem]]. Create C code from !CubeMX for internal peripherals and use it in Forth.
   * Forth as [[CmsisRtos][CMSIS-RTOS]] thread. CMSIS-RTOS API to use !FreeRTOS from Forth.
   * Buffered [[TerminalIO][terminal I/O]] (20 !KiB buffer for UART Rx). Interrupt driven and RTOS aware, =key= and =emit= block the calling thread.
   * [[TerminalIO#USB_CDC_Serial_Communication_API][USB-CDC]] for serial communication via USB. Redirect console I/O like =cdc-emit=, =cdc-key=
   * [[MicroSdBlocks][microSD mass storage]] for blocks and FAT16 filesystem.
   * [[BoardSupportPackage][Board Support Package]] BSP
      * LEDs (LED1, LED2, LED3)
      * Switches (SW1, SW2, SW3; dongle: SW1)
      * Digital port pins D0 to D15 (Dongle: D0, D1, D6, D10, D11, D12, D13, D14, D15)
      * Analog port pins A0 to A5 (Dongle: A2, A3)
      * PWM: D3, D6, D9 (Dongle: D6)
      * SPI: D11 MOSI, D12 MISO, D13 SCK (display, memory)
   * BLE 5.0 GAP Peripheral Role
      * DIS Device Information Service
      * HRS Heart Rate Service 
      * [[TerminalIO#BLE_Cable_Replacement_Serial_Com][CRS]] Cable Replacement Server service (proprietary service from STM, similar to Classic Bluetooth SPP). Redirect console I/O like =crs-emit=, =crs-key=.


Planned
   * BSP
      * !I2C: D14 SDA, D15 SCL (external peripherals e.g. pressure)
   * USB-MSC to read and write blocks or files from a host computer. 
   * Command line editing like [[https://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/Docs-html/Command_002dline-editing.html#Command_002dline-editing][Gforth]]
   * BLE 5.0 GAP Peripheral Role
      * BLE Event driven programming like LAIRD's smartBASIC, WAITEVENT ONEVENT. 
      * BLE GATT (Characteristics, Services, Profiles)
      * Current Time Service
   * BLE 5.0 GAP Central Role
      * Scan, Pairing 
      * Cable Replacement Client CRC
   * Watchdog
   * Real Time Clock (32 bit UNIX time) =time!=, =time@=, and =time.=
   * Low power
   * Support for the floating point unit, CMSIS-DSP
   * UML state machine (extended state machine, hierarchically nested states)
   * Thread (network protocol)

---+  Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local 
machine (STM32 Nucleo board) for development and testing purposes. 

---++ Prerequisites

   * [[https://www.st.com/en/evaluation-tools/p-nucleo-wb55.html][STM32WB Nucleo Board]] - The highly affordable STM32 Nucleo boards allow anyone to try out new ideas and to quickly create prototypes with any STM32 MCU. The STM32 Nucleo boards integrate an ST-Link debugger/programmer, so there is no need for a separate probe.
   * Terminal emulator application for PC, e.g.: 
      * [[http://www.putty.org/][PuTTY]] - Windows and Linux
      * [[http://en.sourceforge.jp/projects/ttssh2/][Tera Term]] - Windows
      * [[http://realterm.sourceforge.net/][Realterm]] - Windows
      * minicom, microcom, screen - Linux
      * Use the built in Eclipse console (but no LF)
 
Flash the Mecrisp-Cube [[https://github.com/spyren/Mecrisp-Cube/blob/master/Release/MecrispCube.bin][binary]] to the Nucleo Board.

   1. Connect the Nucleo Board USB ST-LINK to the PC
   2. Copy [[https://github.com/spyren/Mecrisp-Cube/blob/master/Release/MecrispCube.bin][binary]] (=MecrispCube.bin=) to the USB mass storage NODE_WB55RG

Start the terminal emulator application on the PC. 
Check for the serial communication port (e.g. for Linux =/dev/ttyACM0=) 
and set the speed to 115200 baud. 
I set the putty terminal configuration to 

   * Implicit CR in every LF 
   * Local echo: Auto
   * Local line editing: Auto

<pre>

---+ Flash Mecrisp-Cube to the Target

Alternate ways to flash Mecrisp-Cube to the target. For the easy way see WebHome#Prerequisites. 


---++ Nucleo Board

Connect Nucleo's ST-LINK USB to you PC. Erase the flash e.g. by !openOCD, we use 768 !KiB %ICON{right}% 192 sectors. 
<pre>

</pre>


---++ USB Dongle

The USB Dongle does not have a ST-Link interface, but the !STM32WB has a built-in boot-loader. This bootloader works via USB. As programming tool I use the CLI from the [[https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubeprog.html][STM32CubeProg]] package. 

<pre>
$ <b>alias cubepgmcli='/opt/STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube/STM32CubeProgrammer/bin/STM32_Programmer_CLI'</b>
$ <b>cubepgmcli -c port=USB1 -d Release/MecrispCube.bin 0x8000000 </b>
$ <b>cubepgmcli -c port=USB1 -ob displ</b>
</pre>


BTW you can flash the Nucleo Board in the same way. 


---++ Update BLE Stack

You can find the BLE Stack and FUS in 
[[https://www.st.com/en/embedded-software/stm32cubewb.html][STM32CubeWB]], in the directory =Projects/STM32WB_Copro_Wireless_Binaries=.

Nucleo board: Using USB_USER interface and the built-in bootloader (activate with jumper between CN7.5 and CN7.7)
<pre>
$ <b>alias cubepgmcli='/opt/STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube/STM32CubeProgrammer/bin/STM32_Programmer_CLI'</b>
$ <b>cd STM32Cube_FW_WB_V1.6.0/Projects/STM32WB_Copro_Wireless_Binaries/STM32WB5x</b>
$ <b>cubepgmcli -c port=USB1 -fwdelete</b>
$ <b>cubepgmcli -c port=USB1 -fwupgrade stm32wb5x_FUS_fw_1_0_2.bin 0x080EC000 firstinstall=0</b>
