# Wipforth
## Building and Running
To run, first compile the WebAssembly module:
```
wat2wasm --enable-threads wipforth.wat
```
Then run the server:
```
python3 server.py
```
You should then be able to open <http://localhost:8080> in a browser
and use the system from there.
**NOTE**: The server is just a very simple instantiation of Python's
built-in `http.server` that sets the cross-origin headers required for
`SharedMemoryBuffer` use. You could use any HTTP server that sets
these headers.
## Peripherals
# Serial
| Name | Offset | Size / B | Access |
|--------|--------|----------|--------------|
| TXBUF | 0 | 32 | write |
| RXBUF | 32 | 32 | read |
| TXHEAD | 64 | 1 | atomic read |
| TXTAIL | 65 | 1 | atomic write |
| RXHEAD | 66 | 1 | atomic write |
| RXTAIL | 67 | 1 | atomic read |
For both sending (`TX`) and receiving (`RX`), there are three
registers: `xBUF`, `xHEAD` and `xTAIL`:
- `xBUF` registers are 32-byte FIFO ring buffers used for data
- The `xHEAD` and `xTAIL` registers specify the start and end of data
in the ring buffer, `xHEAD` being the offset of the first byte of
data, and `xTAIL` being the offset of the first byte *after* the data.
In order to be distinguishable from the empty state, the ring buffers
must never be completely full -- there must always be *at least one*
unoccupied byte between the tail and the head.
