uLisp for the Arduino MKRZero


#1

Would anyone be interested in beta-testing a new version of uLisp for the Arduino MKRZero?

https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardMKRZero

This has a similar specification to the Arduino Zero, but in a smaller form factor:

SAMD21 Cortex-M0+ running at 48MHz
256KBytes Flash and 32KBytes SRAM.
SD-card slot. uLisp will be able to save multiple Lisp images to an SD card.
Li-Po battery support, with built-in charger.

Sadly this board seems not to be very popular… (because no one answers)?
I think SD-card (storing multiple images) and Li-Po battery are very interesting features
(I’m thinking about buying a board… ;-) )

It could just be because it’s quite new and only available from Arduino, not from their distributors.

How about adding the sd card to the FR5969 (or other) board? From the hardware side this shouldn’t be very difficult, maybe your code could be used for the other boards too.
With this there will be more room for cons cells and multiple images would be great.
Next step could be loading lisp code from a file (after that pp to file would be great).
What do you think?
I’ll connect an sd card to the FR5969 and use the arduino lib for testing.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve got SD card support working for saving/loading images. With a bit more work I should be able to get I/O working to/from an SD card.
