Google "systems on chip Felix Friedrich" and you'll find a number of
fascinating PDF papers describing the work that Felix has been doing
recently. Add "fpga' to the search terms if you want to narrow down the
results. The slides from the 'Workshop on System-on-Chip Design' presented
at National Chiao Tung University, Taipei, 21.-23.10.2013 is a good one for
an overview - particularly the sections on Math Oberon and Active Cells.
Also there is a list of his papers here:
https://www.inf.ethz.ch/personal/felixf/pub.html
However, don't expect to see the word 'fox' in any of this - that's a bit of
a red herring ...

To my knowledge it is the compiler in A2 and has cross platform
capability. Seems Felix Friedrich is the principal architect.

It is available although most of us have not found how to access it.
Install A2 natively or install UnixAos. In the menu, open File Manager;
Files > Files. On the left, click on "Searcher". In the white ribbon
above "Filename" type "FoxDoc". You will see many files listed.
Appears that some of the source is for an algorithm which generates
EBNF. Nice but I'm interested to know more.

A2 File Manager shows 18 files with names FoxDocumentation*,
including FoxDocumentationTree.Mod. PET shows what appear
to be commands.
FoxDocumentationTree.Document
FoxDocumentationTree.Documents
FoxDocumentationTree.Documentation
MM on FoxDocumentationTree.Document FoxCompiler ~
gives only,
WMTextView: Command execution error, res:3901 (Command
FoxDocumentationTree.Document not found)
=8~|
I haven't found anything relevant in
http://www.ocp.inf.ethz.ch/wiki/Documentation/ .
Appears the Fox documents were subsequent to the PDFs
cited there.
How is this extensive Fox documentation accessed?
Thanks, ... Lyall E.
