The L1VM is a fast, secure and reliable open source VM (GPL). It was built with security in mind. It can run bytecode generated by my Brackets compiler and assembler. Brackets is my own language, which is easy to learn. You can even write programs which are using my SDL/GUI module for graphics output. And you can run multiple threads very easy. The L1VM is truly multi platform OS supporting. The L1VM runs on Linux (x86_64, Arm), BSD OS: OpenBSD, FreeBSD, DragonFly BSD, Windows 10, 11 via WSL or native (MSYS2), macOS and Haiku OS. However on Haiku OS the multithreading can't be used. Maybe this works with later betas. The Brackets programs bytecode can run on all supported OS without changes on them! The VM has an preprocessor, assembler and compiler for my own language Brackets. On the Raspberry Pi the GPIO pins can be used with my GPIO module. Also the serial port can be used. The source code is on my GitHub repository: github.com/koder77/l1vm.

Linux x86_64 binaries

I made static build binaries for Linux x86_64. They should run on any 64 bit Linux system. The current L1VM 3.1.0 builds are here: L1VM Linux binaries.
The only change from 3.0.10 to 3.1.0 is the linter update. So the other programs show 3.0.10! I did include all modules and their depedencies, so the binaries should run on any Linux system. Here is the sha256 sum of the archive:

Windows x86_64 binaries

I made a port to Windows MSYS2. You need to install MSYS 2 to use this! So now the L1VM can run natively on Windows without the need to install the WSL. I did have to disable the memory bounds checking on the string module. Otherwise it will not work. This strange behaviour is only in the MSYS2 build! The only change from 3.0.10 to 3.1.0 is the linter update. So the other programs show 3.0.10! The 3.1.0 release is here: L1VM Windows MSYS2 binaries.
Here is the sha256 sum of the archive:

The modules

The L1VM can be expanded by modules (shared libraries). A module has an own API to access the functions from the VM. Here is the list of modules:
Cells - linked neural networks with FANN library
ciphersaber - encrypt/decrypt functions
crypto - libsodium encrypt/decrypt functions
endianess - convert to big endian, or little endian functions
fann - FANN neural networks
file - file module - read/write files
filetools - file functions like copy, create directory, etc.
genann - neural networks module
gpio - Raspberry Pi GPIO module
math - some math functions
math-nofp - math module for use without FPU
math-vect - math on arrays functions
mem - memory allocating for arrays and vectors
mem-obj - memory functions to store different variables into one memory array
mem-vect - C++ vector memory library
mpfr-c++ - MPFR floating point big num library
nanoid - nano ID, create unique IDs
net - TCP/IP sockets module
pigpio - Raspberry Pi GPIO module
process - start a new shell process
rs232-libserialport - RS232 serial port using libserialport
rs232 - RS232 serial port module
sdl 2.0 - graphics primitves module, like pixels, lines..., and GUI with buttons, lists, etc.
string - some string functions
time - get time and date
