Hi to all,
are you interested  in assembler language programming? if so, this could be of interest to you.
the basic idea is a 5kB kernel embedded on a MSP430FRxxxx, capable of downloading source files, interpreting and compiling them.  Associated with a minimalist IDE: a text editor, a generic preprocessor and a terminal to communicate with the embedded kernel.
What is the craziest wish of a microcontroller programmer? In my opinion, it would be that once his source is modified, he clicks on the "build" shortcut of the editor and in a second, the program is compiled on the target, ready for testing. It's impossible, of course. But...
You have an MSP-EXP430FRxxxx launchpad plus an USB-UART bridge sleeping at the bottom of a drawer, and some COVID19 containment time to use? try this:
FastForth For MSP430fr5xxx
I hope you'll find at least some good ideas there.
 

and who can do more can do less: on a MSP4330fr5969 clocked @ 500kHz, FAST FORTH can download a source file from PC @ 115200 bds XON/XOFF, with a supply current of 175

... and now communicates with PC up to 6Mbds.
