Mosaic IDE

The Mosaic IDE provides a full-featured text editor with source-code coloring of keywords and comments. The Mosaic IDE is used to develop for the QCard Users Guide, Handheld (Legacy), QScreen Controller, QVGA (Legacy). Forth and Control-C languages are supported.

Mosaic IDE Plus

New! The Mosaic IDE Plus provides a text editor with source-code coloring, project management, and a catalog of demo programs. The Mosaic IDE Plus is used to develop for the PDQ Board Users Guide. Forth and GNU C languages are supported. To see changes from the Mosaic IDE, see this document.

Languages

▼ Available Programming Languages ▼

Forth

Forth is a simple yet powerful programming language using postfix syntax. Forth allows the interpreter and compiler to reside on the target hardware, giving you the ability to interactively define new routines and immediately execute and debug them.

C

The C language is a procedural programming language with facilities for structured programming. It provides low-level access to memory, including memory-mapped control registers. Mosaic's computers run two types of C, Control-C for v4 kernels, and GNU C for v6 kernels.
