I still don't have my personal computing system, but konilo is an inspiration

* tpnix just installed Swdcom on Nixos, so now I have my Mecrisp-Stellaris swd terminal back again :)
02:25:55

<tpnix>
it's a Forth terminal that connects to the mcu via SWD, no usart needed
02:26:15
##forth
<tpnix>
this makes the terminal independent of clock changes
02:26:32
##forth
<tpnix>
it's also very fast, around 1Mbaud
02:27:53
##forth
<tpnix>
because if the 512 char bufferm it can also print up to 512 chrs to the terminal in a couple of cpu clock cycles so 'printf' type debugging has no penality at all

That sounds useful
08:07:12
##forth
<tpnix>
it is massively useful on embedded systems

I can attest to that, having had to do the workarounds for not having a seamless printf
08:28:00
##forth
<veltas>
Although I've also encountered race conditions impacted by a few clock cycles!

<tpnix>
yeah, I can imagine. Sadly it's always that way wether with Forth or C or whatever if the data is coming via a peripheral such as a USART
08:28:49
##forth
<tpnix>
it screws everything up bigtime as you know

I saw that Segger offer a similar facility (printf over swd) with their very expensive products, but I get the same for free with Mecrisp-Stellaris and swdcom
