I am interested to know what eval hardware you are using.

I have not used this device, but I think
amforth-6.8/avr8/devices/at90can128/at90can128.frt has the constants
and these can be sent to the mcu with various tools, including
amforth-shell.py which can do many other things too.

A lot more words are available as forth code, rather than built-in.
To use them send the forth code to the mcu as above. From amforth-6.8
directory

find . -name *.frt

will show where the files are. amforth-shell.py helps a lot with
including files.

I also found the technical guide and cookbook really helpful.
