DRAFT

New flavors for Mecrisp-Cube: 
   * _MecrispCubeH743_ for [[https://www.st.com/en/evaluation-tools/nucleo-h743zi.html][STM's NUCLEO-H743ZI]]
   * _MecrispCubeH747_ for [[https://docs.arduino.cc/hardware/portenta-h7][Arduino Portenta H7 Development Board]]

If you need a really fast MCU (ARM Cortex M7 @ 480 MHz) then the MecrispCubeH74x could be the right Mecrisp-Cube Forth for you. The !STM32H747 has even a second Core, a Cortex M4.

[[WebHome][Mecrisp-Cube]] Instant real-time programming with Forth.

The standard [[WebHome#Already_done][Mecrisp-Cube features]] like RTOS, Filesystem, USB, etc.

   * 288 !KiB RAM dictionary 
   * 1 !MiB Flash dictionary, because of the fragmentation (32 byte instead of 16 byte blocks) the flash words needs about 30 % more memory.
   * Internal Flash drive 0:, 16 !MiB (external, Portenta has it on board)
   * microSD drive 1: on Breakout Board

   * BSPs
      * [[BoardSupportPackageH743][NUCLEO-H743ZI]]

   * TCP/IP
      * Telnet ;-)

---+  Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local 
machine (STM's NUCLEO-H743ZI board) for development and testing purposes. 

---++ Prerequisites

   * [[https://www.st.com/en/evaluation-tools/nucleo-h743zi.html][STM's NUCLEO-H743ZI]] 
   * 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/raw/H743/Release/MecrispCubeH743.bin][binary]] (=MecrispCubeH743.bin=) or the [[https://github.com/spyren/Mecrisp-Cube/raw/H743/sdcard/boot/MecrispCubeH743Util.bin][util-binary]] (=MecrispCubeH743Util.bin=) to the Feather Board.

   1. Connect the Nucleo Board USB ST-LINK to the PC 
   2. Copy the [[https://github.com/spyren/Mecrisp-Cube/raw/H743/Release/MecrispCubeH743.bin][binary]] or the [[https://github.com/spyren/Mecrisp-Cube/raw/H743/sdcard/boot/MecrispCubeH743Util.bin][util-binary]] to the USB mass storage NODE_H743

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

   * Implicit CR in every LF 
   * Local echo: Auto
   * Local line editing: Auto
   * Keyboard Backspace: Control-H
   * Keyboard Function: Keys VT100
   * Remote character set: CP850

<b>23 5 / .[CR]</b> 4  ok.
<b>: hello ." World" ;[CR]</b>  ok.
<b>hello[CR]</b> World ok.
</pre>


---++ Additional Tools and Local Filesystem
Populate a microSD with the contents of [[https://github.com/spyren/Mecrisp-Cube/tree/F743/sdcard][sdcard]]. Put the microSD into the H743 slot and reset or power cycle the board.

The directory should look like this:
<pre>
<b>ls -l 1:[CR]</b>
drw-         0 2021-04-18T18:12:38 boot
drw-         0 2021-03-21T18:47:52 etc
drw-         0 2021-03-21T18:47:54 fsr
drw-         0 2021-03-21T18:47:54 home
drw-         0 2021-03-21T18:47:56 man
-rwa      7219 2021-01-08T19:42:36 README.md
ok.
</pre>

You can use the local CLI commands like =mkfs=, =mkdir= and =cp= to create a filesystem on the serial flash and fill it with files and folders. But this is tedious job because I haven't yet implemented a recursive copy for !MecrispCube. But there is prepared disk image 
(for details see MicroSdBlocks#Serial_Flash) on microSD and the tool =dd=. You can copy the disk image to the drive 0: (this takes about 2 Minutes):
<pre>
<b>dd 1:/boot/fd-2MiB.img 0:[CR]</b>
 ok.
<b>mount 0:[CR]</b>
 ok.
<b>ls 0:[CR]</b>
man                     fsr                     README.md               boot
etc                     home
 ok.
</pre>

The Mecrisp have some tools bundled in its distribution e.g. assembler, disassembler, dump, float. I put those tools and some more into the folder =/fsr=. With the "init.fs script" I compile my favorite ones into the flash directory:
<pre>
<b>compiletoflash[CR]</b>  ok.
<b>include /etc/init.fs[CR]</b>
init.fs Loading started
RAM Dictionary: 392991 KiB
utils.fs loading ...
conditional.fs loading ...
dump.fs loading ...
disassembler-m3.fs loading ...
float.fs loading ...
threads.fs loading ...
RAM Dictionary: 392981 KiB
init.fs finished  ok.
</pre>

For example, the word disassember is available now:
<pre>
<b>see dump[CR]</b>
080405F0: B500  push { lr }
080405F2: F7C2  bl  08002A3E  --> cr
080405F4: FA24
080405F6: CF08  ldmia r7 { r3 }
080405F8: F013  ands r2 r3 #F
080405FA: 020F
080405FC: F847  str r3 [ r7 #-4 ]!
080405FE: 3D04
08040600: 2A00  cmp r2 #0
08040602: D000  beq 08040606
08040604: 3610  adds r6 #10
08040606: CF08  ldmia r7 { r3 }
08040608: F847  str r6 [ r7 #-4 ]!
</pre>

Copy project into workspace
Browse to Mecrisp-Cube directory
</pre>

Generate code from the !STM32CubeMX =MecrispCubeH743.ioc= file:

</pre>

Restore changed source files
<pre>
$ git status
{list of changed files}
$ git restore {files to restore}

---++ !STM32H747 Arduino Portenta H7 Development Board

This Arduino Portenta H7 development board follows the Arduino MKR form factor, but enhanced with the Portenta family 80 pin high-density connector. 

Why should I use this board? It is less powerful than a Raspberry Pi and is even more expensive! The Raspi draws much more current and therefore cannot be operated with a battery. 

No Board Support Package yet.
