+FarmerPotato Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I need a monitor/debugger program that can fit in an 8k rom (maybe more.) Any suggestions for source code to such a thing? I have TI's RSBUG source code for starters. I need the usual things like M)odify memory, C)RU, E)xecute. Ideally I would incorporate the Line-by-line-assembler too. Is there source for that out there? I've been living out of Mini Memory Easy Bug, and 32k, and would like to cobble together a 8k debugger utility cartridge.

You do understand GROM single Cartridge has 40K vs just 8K in a ROM? And you can ADD the 8K ROM to the GROM thus have 48K in the CARTRIDGE? Remember I imbed Assembly in GROM and use it in RXB for SAMS support and CRU control and handing Interrupts from XB. And all my Source code in RXB is free to use and read.

+FarmerPotato Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 Somehow I plain forgot that the E/A disk includes the debugger source code. Duh. I have RSBUG, which is an RS232 debugger, and was thinking of using that. This one: TITL '99/4A RS232 DEBUGGER V 2.4' IDT 'RSBUG2.4' DEF RSBUG * AORG >F000 *(C)1983 Texas Instruments Inc. ******************************************* * RS232 Debugger Version 2.4 (06/05/83) * ******************************************* * enable one port and one baud rate *CR9902 EQU >1340 9902 address (port 1) CR9902 EQU >1380 9902 address (port 2) *CR9902 EQU >1540 9902 address (port 3) *CR9902 EQU >1580 9902 address (port 4) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneMultitasker Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Charles Earl's HOTBUG has an 8k supercart option. No source that I'm aware of but if you are just trying to cobble together a debugger module, it might be an option for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would this be different from MiniMemory? A long time ago I disassembled the LBLA and modified it to run from the 32K memory. There is a tiny chance I might be able to find the source code for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can cross compile a little Forth kernel that lives at $6000 with dump and ? to examine memory. ! can write to memory. If you just needed the interpreter I can remove the branching and looping stuff to make room for the tools. I have never made a cartridge but it's on my todo list. Let me know if that's useful.

I don't so much need the 4K RAM and would rather have LBLA built in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for fun I disassembled the Line-By-Line assembler 3 years ago because I wanted something like this to run in the E/A environment. I have added comments and did the bugfixes as suggested by Stuart Conner. Maybe you can use this. PS: Interesting technique how all opcodes are stored in some kind of compressed table.

+9640News Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 FYI, There is the Geneve RSBug code that was built into the boot eprom well less than 8K. It was configured to use an RS232 port. Code is already out there, let me know if that is something that may be of interest. Beery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
