I'm new to Jaguar development (hi), and am looking for a way to get VBCC and vlink to compile/link for cartridge address space instead of to RAM, but I can't seem to get it to work.
Obviously, RAM is better + faster for testing, but it'd be nice to know how to make it compile/link at 0x802000 instead of 0x4000 (final game is too big for just RAM, want to take the Jag to a friend's house to show them what I made without lugging a computer along with it, etc.)
Here's what I've got so far.
Test program (main.c):
#include <jaglib.h> #include <jagcore.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main() { puts("Hello, Jaguar world!"); for(; { // live forever } }Compiled with
vc +jaguar-cart.cfg -c99 main.c -o hello-cart.jag
jaguar-cart.cfg is exactly the same as the jaguar config file that comes with VBCC, but supplies a linker script for vlink:
MEMORY { RAM (!rx) : ORIGIN = 0x004000, LENGTH = 2032K ROM (rx) : ORIGIN = 0x802000, LENGTH = 6290944 } SECTIONS { .text: { *(.text CODE text) } > ROM . = ALIGN(32); .data: { _DATA_START = .; VBCC_CONSTRUCTORS *(.data DATA data) _DATA_END = .; _DATA_INIT = LOADADDR(.data); } > RAM AT>ROM .bss (NOLOAD): { _BSS_START = .; *(.bss BSS bss) *(COMMON) _BSS_END = .; } > RAM }Compiling and flashing to the Skunkboard works, but all I get is a blank screen. Compiling for RAM the normal way and launching with jcp -c hello-ram.jag works fine and shows the text as expected.
What am I missing? Thanks for any help!

Yeah, I did "brew install libusb-compat" and then built jcp from source. Works perfectly on macOS 10.13.
