Oberon 2.5 on WIndows 7: again problems with PELinker
by Dieter 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

Hi Chris, In April I thought my problems had been solved (with your generous help). But now I have further developed my musical notes conversion program. It runs fine in the Oberon Shell, but I cannot convert it to Windows-exe anymore. When I call the PELinker via: "PELinker.Link Testbed.Link ~". I run into "TRAP 100 HALT statement in thread Oberon.Loop" and "imported Module not loaded" The object code amounts to 58221 bytes. Could it be, that my program is just too big? Should I increase the heapsize? Any help will be most welcome. Thanks and regards, Dieter -- ____________________________________ Dr. Dieter Glötzel Im Rosengarten 27 64367 Mühltal Tel.: 06151 / 360 82 72

Re: [Oberon] FPGA - SRAM vs. BRAM

There has been talk on Parallax Inc.'s discussion forum [1], that version 15.0 of Altera's gratis Quartus II web edition design software now also supports the 5CEFA9F23C8N FPGA as used on the BeMicro CV A9 development board (although the Quartus II web site still said otherwise last time I checked), which appears to be sold by Arrow Electronics for $149 [2]. This particular FPGA appears to feature 12Mbit of M10K on-chip memory, on which a quick search engine query only found me some glossary entry [3]. I wonder, if this on-chip memory could easily be configured to behave like the SRAM that's currently used on the older board without complicating the code. Has anybody used Altera's FPGAs in the past and can comment on their devices or software?

License / Elektor
by greim 06 Jun '15

Hi, the clearance of the license status is a real big progress. Thanks to Niklaus Wirth, Jürg Gutknecht and Paul Reed again. In the last Elektor editorial there was the question of the editor, if "yet another microcontroller board for education" is necessary. I have written a longer e-mail to the editors of the magazine presenting the FPGA-Oberon project. I have got no answer yet, but at least one article similar to the article in the Xilinx journal would be helpful, i think. Regards Markus Greim
