porting tcl interpreter onto Embedded system
|
|
|
| Hi,
I'm a new comer to tcl world.
May I know if it's possible to port tcl interpreter onto an embedded system?
so that I can run some test cases on that system.
If possible, is there any reference/guideline for the porting work?
And how much memory, stack, heap, and program is needed to run such an
interpreter and tcl scripts?
Thanks in advance,
Liang

Don't know, but I thought I'd point out the 'Jim' interpreter in case
you find Tcl too big:

Jim seems dormant now. Anybody knows why ?

| The author seems to be busy with different things. But the source is
nicely readable and maintainable, if you run into quirks...

I know that there exists a port to RTEMS (see www.rtems.com) of tcl
8.3.1. It is available here:
ftp://ftp.rtems.com/pub/rtems/current_contrib/tcl-8.3.1
I have NOT used it myself, so I will not speak to its quality.
I don't know what its resource requirements are either.
It would serve as a good starting point.
Regards
Paul

What embedded OS -- several have Tcl already ported to them.
