well i have some projects with esp32 and also i think is a good board. by the other hand I have a lot of tools from FF and i like the facilities and the flash way from it. i think wouldl be a good system a esp32 with FF!,
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
i have seen the forth2020, but esp32 forth is only working in ram memory and you need load all the words every reset.
also i like it very much but it is written in C and is slower than FF. now im trying tachyon forth but we will see.

I had a look at the ESP32 SOCs and most of them do not have internal flash memory from which to run programs. Internal flash would be a requirement for FlashForth to behave like it does.
Apparently Espressif does not release publicly detailed datasheets, making it apparently impossible to code a pure assembly program without the ESP supplied frameworks.

thank you for the information. Peter forth told me about some tool in esp32 forth to save the dictionary status for the next starup. in this way i can keep my words similar like FF.
then i will use both forths in my works....

is there any possibility to run flashforth in esp32 board?
I wonder why you would want to do that. Is there any FF functionality in particular you would want to have on esp32?

is smaller, faster than esp32 forth and keeps the words in flash.
I guess it could be done. It would be a major rewrite of FF.
What about mecrisp ? Or zeptoforth?
Take a look at esp32forth too. >> https://esp32forth.forth2020.org
