amforth
amforth is a Forth distribution for the the AVR Atmega microcontroller family. Once put into flash, it needs only a serial connection to the host computer to work interactively. New words are compiled directly into flash, thus extending the dictionary immediately. It provides most of the ANS94 Forth Standard plus extensions. It is written in AVR standard assembly language and Forth itself.
