[U-Boot] U-boot && forth kernel

[Сергей Миронов]

Hello to all!

We are developing various IP-blocks for sparc' system-on-chip's. I
have successfully ported u-boot to our board (it was not too hard,
thanks!) , but now there is an idea to run some FORTH-kernel for
testing and debugging purposes without any OS.  I tried OpenBIOS
software, but without luck. So my question is - does anyone have an
experience of launching FORTH as u-boot application?

Thanks,
Sergey

I managed to launch a modified version of Pforth from u-boot a few years ago. I don't see why it would be that difficult for any other variant of Forth.
