BBC BASIC on the Colour Maximite 2

Post by Ivan »

I just came across a ARM based computer that boots directly into basic. I have just skimmed the basic manual and hoped it was at same level as BBC BASIC. So far I can tell it is not.

It can execute 270.000 lines pr. sec. and can also be programmed as an Arduino i/o programming.

I don't have a deeper understanding of Arm based computers, but maybe the BBC BASIC for Raspberry PI can be compiled to the STM32 ARM Cortex-7?
BBC Model B - 1984-1989. 6502 assembler, Unicomal 1988-1994, Some C and C++, Pascal 1990-1994. Bought a copy of BBC-BASIC 2007, but started to program at a daily basis 2019. C++ in 2021.

Nor me!

The compiler switches I use for the Raspberry Pi edition are:

Code: Select all

-march=armv7-a -mthumb -munaligned-access -mfloat-abi=hard -c
Is that CPU armv7-a compatible?
