CASM

+ +

Usage

+ +
+casm file +
+ +

Assembles file, and places the resulting code in a file called +output by default.

+ +

Note that switches aren't used by casm. Instead options are +controlled by commands in the source file.

+ + +

Memory Layout

+ +

There is 64K of RAM that the assembler will generate output into. Extra 64K +banks of RAM can be added by using the bank or org directives. +Banks are numbered from zero upwards.

+ + +

Source Code

+ +

Layout

+ +The source files follow this basic format: + +
+    ; Comments
+    ;
+    label1: equ     0xffff
+
+            org     $4000;
+            
+            db      "Hello, World\n",0
+
+    main    jp      local_label     ; Comments
+
+    .local_label
+            inc     a
+
+    another:
+            inc     b
+            jp      local_label     ; Actually jumps to the following
+                                    ; local_label.
+
+    .local_label
+            ret
+
+ + +

The source files follow the following rules:

+ +
    + +
  • Any text past a semicolon (;) is discarded as a comment (except when part +of a string constant).
    • + +
  • Labels must start in column zero (the left hand most column).
    • + +
      +
    • If the label ends with a colon (:) then the colon is removed.
      • + +
    • If the label doesn't start with a period (.) then it is assumed a global + label.
      • + +
    • If the label starts with a period (.) then it is assumed to be a local + label. Local labels are associated with the preceding global label. + If a global label and related local label have the same name, the local + label will be used on expansion.
      • + +
    • Any label can be followed by an equ directive, in which case + the label is set to that value rather than the current program counter.
      • + +
    • Labels are case-insensitive.
      • + +
    + +
  • Directives and opcodes must appear further along the line (anywhere else +other than the left hand column where labels live basically).
    • + +
  • Strings can either be quoted with single or double quotes; this allows you +to put the other quote type inside the string.
    • + +
+ + +

Recognised directives

+ +

The following directives are also recognised with an optional period (.) in +front of them, and are case insensitive. Directives can also be used to +control the output of a program listing, and the output of the assembly +itself. These are documented in subsequent sections.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
DirectiveDescription
+processor cpu + +Sets the processor type to CPU. If omitted then Z80 is the default. +Note that this can appear multiple times in the same file. See the later +sections on processors to see what values are supported.

+
+option setting, value + +Set options. Options are defined later on, and each CPU and output driver +can also have its own options. For options that support booleans +(on/off/true/false),the setting can be prefixed with a plus or minus +character to switch it on or off respectively. +
+equ value + +Sets the top level label to value. Note this requires a label on the +same line as this directive. +
+org value[, bank] + +Sets the program counter (PC) to value. The PC defaults to zero on +initialisation. If the optional second argument is passed the current memory +bank in use is set to bank. +
+bank value + +The current memory bank in use is set to value. +
+ds value[, fill] + +Skips the program counter on value bytes. If the optional fill is +provided then the bytes are filled with fill, otherwise they are filled +with zero. +
+db value[, value] + +Writes bytes represented by value to the current PC. The values can be +constants, expressions, labels or strings which are expanded to a list of byte +values for each character in the string. +
+dw value[, value] + +Writes words (16-bit values) represented by value to the current PC. +The values can be constants, expressions, labels or strings. Strings are +written as 16-bit versions of their byte values, i.e. the high byte will be zero +and the low byte the character code. +
+align value[, fill] + +Align the PC so that (PC modulus value) is zero. Will error if +value is less than 2 or greater that 32768. No values are written to +the skipped bytes unless the optional fill is supplied. +
+include filename + +Includes the source file filename as if it was text entered at the +current location. +
+incbin filename + +Includes the binary file filename at the current PC, as if it was a +sequence of db directives with all the bytes from the file. +
+alias command, replacement + +Creates an alias so that whenever the command command is found in the +source it is replaced with replacement. The idea of this is to make it +easier to import sources that use unknown directives, e.g. + +
+    alias setaddr,org
+    alias ldreg,ld
+
+    cpu         z80
+
+    setaddr     $8000   ; These two are
+    org         $8000   ; equivalent.
+
+    ld          a,(hl)  ; These two are
+    ldreg       a,(hl)  ; equivalent.
+
+
+nullcmd + +Simply does nothing. It's only real use is as an alias if you wished to +strip a directive from a foreign source file. +
+end + +Terminates input processing. Anything past the directive will be ignored. +
+ +

Built-in Aliases

+ +The following are built-in aliases for the above directives. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
CommandBuilt-in Alias
equ +eq +
ds +defs +
db +defb
+byte
+text
+
dw +defw
+word
+
+ +

Expressions

+ +

In any of the directives above, where a value is defined, an expression can +be entered.

+ +

Assembly instructions will also permit these expressions to be used where +applicable. As many opcodes use parenthesis to indicate addressing modes, +remember that {} brackets can be used to alter expression precedence.

+ +
+    ld  a,{8+2}*2               ; On the Z80 loads A with the value 20
+    ld  a,({8+2}*2)             ; On the Z80 loads A with the value stored at
+                                ; address 20
+
+ +

Note that the expression is evaluated using a standard C int, and then cast +to the appropriate size.

+ +

The following formats for constant numbers are supported:

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Format (regular expression)Description
+"." or '.' + +A single quoted character will be converted into the appropriate character +code. +
+[1-9][0-9]* + +A decimal number, e.g. 42. +
+0[0-7]* + +An octal number, e.g. 052. +
+0x[0-9a-fA-f]+ + +A hex number, e.g. 0x2a. +
+[0-9a-fA-f]+h + +A hex number, e.g. 2ah. +
+$[0-9a-fA-f]+ + +A hex number, e.g. $2a. +
+[01]+b + +A binary number, e.g. 00101010b +
+[a-zA-Z_0-9]+ + +A label, e.g. `main_loop`. +
+ +The following operators are understood. The order here is the order of +precedence. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Arithmetic OperatorsDescription
+{ } + +Brackets used to alter the order of precedence. Note normal parenthesis +aren't used as the assembly language may make use of them. +
+~ + - + +Bitwise NOT/unary plus/unary minus. +
+<< >> + +Shift left/shift right. +
+/ * % + +Division/multiplication/modulus. +
++ - + +Addition/subtraction. +
+ +All the following have the same precedence, and so will be done left to right. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Comparison OperatorsDescription
+== + +Equality. Returns 1 if the arguments are equal, otherwise zero. +
+!= + +Inequality. Returns 1 if the arguments are unequal, otherwise zero. +
+< <= > >= + +Less than/less than or equal/greater than/greater than or equal. Returns 1 +if the arguments are equal, otherwise zero. +
+ +All the following have the same precedence, and so will be done left to right. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Boolean OperatorsDescription
+&& & + +Boolean/bitwise AND. For boolean operation arguments, zero is FALSE, +otherwise TRUE. +
+|| | + +Boolean/bitwise OR. +
+^ + +Bitwise XOR. +
+ +

Character Sets

+ +

The assembler has built-in support for a few different character sets. +These can be set by using the options `charset` or `codepage`, i.e.

+ +
+    option codepage, format
+    option charset, format
+
+ +

The following values can be used for format.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
FormatDescription
+ascii + +7-bit ASCII. This is the default. +
+spectrum + +The character codes as used on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. +
+zx81 + +The character codes as used on the Sinclair ZX-81. Lower case +letters are encoded as normal upper case letters and upper case +letter will be encoded as inverse upper case letters. +
+cbm + +PETSCII as used on the Commodore Business Machine's range from the +PET to the C128. See +https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PETSCII more details. +
+ +

e.g.

+ +
+    option  +list
+    option  +list-hex
+
+    option  charset,ascii
+    db      "Hello",'A'
+    ; $48 $65 $6C $6C $6F $41
+
+    option  charset,zx81
+    db      "Hello",'A'
+    ; $AD $2A $31 $31 $34 $A6
+
+    option  codepage,cbm
+    db      "Hello",'A'
+    ; $48 $45 $4C $4C $4F $41
+
+    option  codepage,spectrum
+    db      "Hello",'A'
+    ; $48 $65 $6C $6C $6F $41
+
+ + +

Macros

+ +

+Macros can be defined in one of two ways; either parameterless or with named +parameters. Macro names are case-insensitive. In the parameterless mode the +special identifier '*' can be used to expand all arguments, which will be +separated with commas. +

+ +

+When expanded the macro will have an internally generated top-level label +assigned to it, so local variables will work inside the macro. +

+ +

e.g.

+ +
+macro1: macro
+
+        ld a,\1
+        ld b,\2
+        ld hl,data
+        call \3
+        jr dataend
+.data
+        defb \*
+.dataend
+
+        endm
+
+macro2: macro char,junk,interface
+
+        ld a,@char
+        ld b,@junk
+        call @interface
+
+        endm
+
+ +

+Note that trying to expand and unknown/missing argument will be replaced with +an empty string. Also the two argument reference styles can be mixed, though +obviously the @ form only makes sense in a parameterised macro, e.g. +

+ +
+mac:    macro char,junk,interface
+
+        ld a,@char
+        ld b,\2
+        call @interface
+
+        endm
+
+ +

+The at symbol (@) used for parameter expansion in named argument macros can +be replaced by using the following option, e.g. +

+ +
+        option  macro-arg-char,&
+
+ +

+Note that this is enforced when the macro is *used*, not when it is *defined*. +Also the character must not be quoted, as that will be parsed as a string +holding the character code of the character. +

+ + +

Output Format

+ +By default the assembled code is written to a file called `output` as raw +binary covering the block of memory that the assembly touched. If memory +banks have been used then *output* is appended with the memory bank number, so +that a separate output file is generated for each bank. + +The generated output can be controlled with the following options. + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Output OptionDescription
+option output-file, file + +Send the output to file. +
+option output-type, format + +Controls the format of the output file. The following are the +supported output formats: + + + + + + + + + +
+raw + +A simply raw binary image of the memory. +
+spectrum + +

+Generates a Spectrum TAP file for an emulator. +

+ +The TAP file will be given the same name as the output filename, and its load +address will be set to the start of the created memory. If memory banks have +been used then each bank is output to the TAP file as separate code files. +

+ +

+Remember that TAP files can be concatenated, so the output could be appended to +another TAP file containing a BASIC loader for example. +

+
+ +
+ +

Listing

+ +

+By default no output listing is generated. This can be controlled by the +following options. +

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Listing OptionDescription
+option list, <on|off> + +Enables or disables listing. The listing will go to stdout by default. +Defaults to off. +
+option list-file, filename + +Sends the listing to filename. Note this should appear before enabling +the listing. +
+option list-pc, <on|off> + +Control the output of the current PC in the as a comment preceding the +line (so that a listing could be reassembled with no editing). Defaults +to off. +
+option list-hex, <on|off> + +Control the output of the bytes generated by the source line in hex. +Defaults to off. If on then the hex is output in a comment +preceding the line (possibly with the PC above), so that a listing is still +valid as input to the assembler. +
+option list-labels, <on|off|all> + +Controls the listing of labels, either: + + + + + + + + + + +
+off + +The default; don't list anything. +
+on + +List labels at the end of the listing. The labels are output commented so that +the list could be used as input. +
+all + +List all labels, including internally generated private labels for macros. +
+ +
+option list-macros, <off|exec|dump|all> + +Controls the listing of macro invocations, either: + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
+off + +The default; don't list anything. +
+exec + +List invocations of macros. +
+dump + +Produce a list of macro definitions at the end of the listing. +
+all + +Combine exec and dump. +
+
+option list-rm-blanks, <on|off> + +Defaults to on. This option causes multiple blank lines to be collapsed +down to a single blank line in the listing. +
+ + +

Z80 CPU

+ +

Opcodes

+ +

+The Z80 assembler uses the standard Zilog opcodes, and supports +undocumented instructions. +

+ +

+For instructions were the Accumulator can be assumed it can be omitted, and +EOR can be used the same as XOR: +

+ +
+        xor     a,a         ; These are equivalent
+        xor     a
+        eor     a,a
+
+        and     a,b         ; These are equivalent
+        and     b
+
+ +

+For exchange opcodes with parameters the parameters can be reversed from their +official form: +

+ +
+        ; The official forms
+        ;
+        ex      de,hl
+        ex      af,af'
+        ex      (sp),hl
+        ex      (sp),ix
+        ex      (sp),iy
+
+        ; Also supported
+        ;
+        ex      hl,de
+        ex      af',af
+        ex      hl,(sp)
+        ex      ix,(sp)
+        ex      iy,(sp)
+
+ +

+Where the high/low register parts of the IX and IY registers are to be used, +simply use ixl, iyl, ixh and iyh. Note that the assembler will accept +illegal pairings involving H and L, but these will be warned about: +

+ +
+        ld  ixh,$e5
+        ld  iyl,iyl
+
+        ld  ixh,l           ; This will be turned into "ld ixh,ixl" and a
+                            ; warning will be issued.
+
+        ld  iyh,ixl         ; This will generate an error as the index registers
+                            ; have been mixed.
+
+ +

+For the hidden bit manipulations that also can copied to a register, these can +be represented by adding the destination register as an extra parameter, e.g. +

+ +
+        srl (iy-1),d
+        set 3,(iy-1),a
+        res 4,(iy-1),b
+
+ +

+For the hidden IN instruction using the flag register the following are all +equivalent: +

+ +
+        in  (c)
+        in  f,(c)
+
+ +

+For the hidden OUT instruction using the flag register, $00 or $ff depending +on where you're reading, the following are all equivalent, where _value_ can +be any value at all: +

+ +
+        out (c)
+        out (c),f
+        out (c),
+
+ + +

Options

+ +The Z80 assembler has no options. + +

6502 CPU

+ +

Opcodes

+ +The 6502 assembler uses the standard Motorola opcodes. + + +

Options

+ +The 6502 assembler has the following options. + + + + + + + + +
6502 OptionDescription
+option zero-page, <on|off|auto> + +Controls the assumptions made regarding Zero Page address. Defaults to +off, and can be the following values: + + + + + + + + + + +
+off + +The default; all addresses are assumed to be not on the Zero Page, regardless +of the value used. +
+on + +Assumes all addresses are in the Zero Page, raising an error if any address is +not in the Zero Page. +
+auto + +Treats addresses less than 256 as being in the Zero Page automatically. This +mode also makes the assembler perform an extra pass to guard against the +possibility of the calculation being fooled. +
+ +e.g. + +
+        cpu     6502
+        org     $8000
+
+        lda     $0000,x     ; Produces $bd $00 $00
+        option  +zero-page
+        lda     $0000,x     ; Produces $b5 $00
+        lda     $1234,x     ; Produces an error
+
+        option  zero-page,auto
+        lda     $00,x       ; Produces $b5 $00
+        lda     $8000,x     ; Produces $bd $00 $80

Note this requires a label on the - same line. - -org _value_[,_bank_]:: - Sets the program counter (PC) to _value_. The PC defaults to zero. If the - optional second argument is passed the current memory bank in use is set - to _bank_. - -bank _value_:: - The current memory bank in use is set to _value_. - -ds _value_[, _fill_]:: - Skips on the program counter _value_ bytes. If the optional _fill_ is - provided then the bytes are filled with _fill_, otherwise they are filled - with zero. - -db _value_[, _value_]:: - Writes bytes to the current PC. The values can be constants, expressions, - labels or strings. Built-in aliases are +byte+ and +text+. - -dw [, ]:: - Writes words (16-bit values) to the current PC. The values can be - constants, expressions or labels. Note that +word+ is a built-in alias for - this directive. - -align _value_[, _fill_]:: - Align the PC so that (PC modulus _value_) is zero. Will error if _value_ - is less than 2 or greater that 32768. No values are written to the skipped - bytes unless the optional _fill_ is supplied. - -include _filename_:: - Includes the source file _filename_ as if it was text entered at the - current location. - -incbin _filename_:: - Includes the binary data in _filename_ at the current PC, as if it was a - sequence of +db+ directives with all the bytes from the file. - -alias _command_, _replacement_:: - Creates an alias so that whenever the command _command_ is found in the - source it is replaced with _replacement_. The idea of this is to make it - easier to import sources that use unknown directives, e.g. - - alias setaddr,org - alias ldreg,ld - - cpu z80 - - setaddr $8000 ; These two are - org $8000 ; equivalent. - - ld a,(hl) ; These two are - ldreg a,(hl) ; equivalent. - -nullcmd:: - Simply does nothing. It's only real use is as an alias if you wished to - strip a directive from a foreign source file. - -end:: - Terminates the input processing. Anything past the directive will be - ignored. - - -Expressions -~~~~~~~~~~~ - -In any of the directives above, where a value is defined, an expression can be -entered. - -The following formats for constant numbers are supported (note these are -illustrated as a regular expression): - -"x" or 'x':: - A single quoted character will be converted into the appropriate character - code. - -[1-9][0-9]*:: - A decimal number, e.g. 42. - -0[0-7]*:: - An octal number, e.g. 052. - -0x[0-9a-fA-f]+:: - A hex number, e.g. 0x2a. - -[0-9a-fA-f]+h:: - A hex number, e.g. 2ah. - -$[0-9a-fA-f]+:: - A hex number, e.g. $2a. - -[01]+b:: - A binary number, e.g. 00101010b - -[a-zA-Z_0-9]+:: - A label, e.g. +main_loop+. - -The following operators are understood. The order here is the order of -precedence. - -{ }:: - Brackets used to alter the order of precedence. Note normal parenthesis - aren't used as the assembly language may make use of them. - -~ + -:: - Bitwise NOT/unary plus/unary minus. - -<< >>:: - Shift left/shift right. - -/ * %:: - Division/multiplication/modulus. - -+ -:: - Addition/subtraction. - -All the following have the same precedence, and so will be done left to right. - -==:: - Equality. Returns 1 if the arguments are equal, otherwise zero. - -!=:: - Inequality. Returns 1 if the arguments are unequal, otherwise zero. - -< \<= > >=:: - Less than/less than or equal/greater than/greater than or equal. Returns 1 - if the arguments are equal, otherwise zero. - - -All the following have the same precedence, and so will be done left to right. - -&& &:: - Boolean/bitwise AND. For boolean operation arguments, zero is FALSE, - otherwise TRUE. - -|| |:: - Boolean/bitwise OR. - -^:: - Bitwise XOR. - - -Assembly instructions will also permit these expressions to be used where -applicable. As many opcodes use parenthesis to indicate addressing modes, -remember that {} brackets can be used to alter expression precedence. - ----- - ld a,{8+2}*2 ; On the Z80 loads A with the value 20 - ld a,({8+2}*2) ; On the Z80 loads A with the value stored at - ; address 20 ----- - -Note that the expression is evaluated using a standard C int, and then cast -to the appropriate size. - - -Character Sets -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -The assembler has built-in support for a few different character sets. -These can be set by using the options _charset_ or _codepage_, i.e. - ----- - option codepage, - option charset, ----- - -The following values can be used for _format_. - -ascii:: - 7-bit ASCII. This is the default. - -spectrum:: - The character codes as used on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. - -zx81:: - The character codes as used on the Sinclair ZX-81. Lower case - letters are encoded as normal upper case letters and upper case - letter will be encoded as inverse upper case letters. - -cbm:: - PETSCII as used on the Commodore Business Machine's range from the - PET to the C128. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PETSCII for - more details. - -e.g. - ----- - option +list - option +list-hex - - option charset,ascii - db "Hello",'A' -; $48 $65 $6C $6C $6F $41 - - option charset,zx81 - db "Hello",'A' -; $AD $2A $31 $31 $34 $A6 - - option codepage,cbm - db "Hello",'A' -; $48 $45 $4C $4C $4F $41 - - option codepage,spectrum - db "Hello",'A' -; $48 $65 $6C $6C $6F $41 - ----- - - -Macros -~~~~~~ - -Macros can be defined in one of two ways; either parameterless or with named -parameters. Macro names are case-insensitive. In the parameterless mode the -special identifier '*' can be used to expand all arguments, which will be -separated with commas. - ----- -macro1: macro - - ld a,\1 - ld b,\2 - call \3 - defb \* - - endm - -macro2: macro char,junk,interface - - ld a,@char - ld b,@junk - call @interface - - endm ----- - -Note that trying to expand and unknown/missing argument will be replaced with -an empty string. Also the two argument reference styles can be mixed, though -obviously the @ form only makes sense in a parameterised macro, e.g. - ----- - -mac: macro char,junk,interface - - ld a,@char - ld b,\2 - call @interface - - endm ----- - -The at symbol (@) used for parameter expansion in named argument macros can -be replaced by using the following option, e.g. - ----- - option macro-arg-char,& ----- - -Note that this is enforced when the macro is *used*, not when it is *defined*. -Also the character must not be quoted, as that will be parsed as a string -holding the character code of the character. - - -Output Format -------------- - -By default the assembled code is written to a file called *output* as raw -binary covering the block of memory that the assembly touched. If memory -banks have been used then *output* is appended with the memory bank number, so -that a separate output file is generated for each bank. - -This can be controlled with the following options. - -option output-file, _file_:: - Send the output to _file_. If memory banks have been used then files are - generated with the names _file_.0, _file_.1, and so on. - -option output-type, _format_:: - Controls the output format with the following settings - - raw;; - The default raw binary. - - spectrum;; - Generates a Spectrum TAP file for an emulator. The TAP file will - be given the same name as the output filename, and its load address - will be set to the start of the created memory. Remember that TAP - files can be concatenated, so the output could be appended to - another TAP file containing a BASIC loader for example. Note that - if memory banks have been used then each bank is output to the TAP - file as separate code blocks. - - -Listing -------- - -By default no output listing is generated. This can be controlled by the -the following options. - -option list, :: - Enables/disables listing. The listing will go to stdout. - -option list-file, _file_:: - Sends the listing to _file_. Note this should appear before enabling the - listing. - -option list-pc, :: - Control the output of the current PC in the as a comment preceding the - line (so that a listing could be reassembled with no editing). Defaults - to *off*. - -option list-hex, :: - Control the output of the bytes generated by the source line in hex. - Defaults to *off*. If *on* then the hex is output in a comment preceding - the line (possibly with the PC above), so that a listing is still valid to - be assembled. - -option list-labels, :: - Controls the listing of labels, either *off* (the default), *on* to dump - label values at the end of the listing and *all* to dump all labels, - including internally generated private labels for macros. - -option list-macros, :: - Controls the listing of macro invocations, either - - off;; - The default; don't list anything. - exec;; - List invocations of macros. - dump;; - Produce a list of macro definitions at the end of the listing. - all;; - Combine "exec" and "dump" - -option list-rm-blanks, :: - Defaults to *on*. This option causes multiple blank lines to be collapsed - down to a single line. - - -Z80 CPU -------- - -Opcodes -~~~~~~~ - -The Z80 assembler uses the standard Zilog opcodes, and supports -undocumented instructions. - -For instructions were the Accumulator can be assumed it can be omitted, and -EOR can be used the same as XOR: - ----- - xor a,a ; These are equivalent - xor a - eor a,a - - and a,b ; These are equivalent - and b ----- - -For exchange opcodes with parameters the parameters can be reversed from their -official form: - ----- - ; The official forms - ; - ex de,hl - ex af,af' - ex (sp),hl - ex (sp),ix - ex (sp),iy - - ; Also supported - ; - ex hl,de - ex af',af - ex hl,(sp) - ex ix,(sp) - ex iy,(sp) ----- - -Where the high/low register parts of the IX and IY registers are to be used, -simply use ixl, iyl, ixh and iyh. Note that the assembler will accept -illegal pairings involving H and L, but these will be warned about: - ----- - - ld ixh,$e5 - ld iyl,iyl - - ld ixh,l ; This will be turned into "ld ixh,ixl" and a - ; warning will be issued. - - ld iyh,ixl ; This will generate an error as the index registers - ; have been mixed. - ----- - -For bit manipulations that also can copied to a register, these can be -represented by adding the destination register as an extra parameter, e.g. - ----- - - srl (iy-1),d - set 3,(iy-1),a - res 4,(iy-1),b - ----- - -For the hidden IN instruction using the flag register the following are all -equivalent: - ----- - in (c) - in f,(c) ----- - -For the hidden OUT instruction using the flag register, $00 or $ff depending -on where you're reading, the following are all equivalent, where _value_ can -be any value at all: - ----- - out (c) - out (c),f - out (c), ----- - - -Options -~~~~~~~ - -The Z80 assembler has no options. - - -6502 CPU --------- - -Opcodes -~~~~~~~ - -The 6502 assembler uses the standard Motorola opcodes. - - -Options -~~~~~~~ - -The 6502 assembler has the following options. - -option zero-page, :: - Use Zero-Page addressing for _absolute_ and _absolute_,X address modes. - If mode is set to *auto* then tries to calculate the mode based on the - value in the last pass. - Defaults to *off*. e.g. - - cpu 6502 - org $8000 - - lda $0000,x ; Produces $bd $00 $00 - option +zero-page - lda $0000,x ; Produces $b5 $00 - lda $1234,x ; Produces an error - - option zero-page,auto - lda $00,x ; Produces $b5 $00 - lda $8000,x ; Produces $bd $00 $80 - - - -// vim: ai sw=4 ts=8 expandtab spell diff --git a/src/test/2 b/src/test/2 index 53f272d..642b46c 100644 --- a/src/test/2 +++ b/src/test/2 @@ -4,6 +4,7 @@ macro1: macro .byte "Hello World" + defw "Bye World" .text 0, $ff endm diff --git a/src/test/bank b/src/test/bank new file mode 100644 index 0000000..cf0f313 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/test/bank @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ + + option output-format,spectrum + org 33000,0 + bank 0 + + defb 1 + + org 34000,1 + bank 1 + + defb 2 -- cgit v1.2.3
