Jump to TI-BASIC from assembly language

[+retroclouds]

I'd like to jump into the TI Basic interpreter coming from an assembly language program running from cartridge space.

It's not that I want to run a specific call or so, just start the TI Basic interpreter like selecting option 1 "TI Basic" on the selection screen.

 

Is there any sample code to show how that works? Guess that I basically need to get the GPL interpreter running TI Basic at >216F  (?)

Was hoping for a vector address in the console ROM that triggers the TI Basic interpreter, but couldn't find it.

       LI   R1,>216f
       MOVB R1,@>9C02
       SWPB R1
       MOVB R1,@>9C02
       NOP
       B    @>70

Seems to work!

I started this from EASYBUG with "E7D00"

So, WP was already set to >83E0.

 

From elsewhere you'll want to...

 

       LWPI >83EO
       LI   R1,>216f
       MOVB R1,@>9C02
       SWPB R1
       MOVB R1,@>9C02
       NOP
       B    @>70

You might need to CLR >837C, in some circumstances. Dunno.

This is pretty neat. 

Question for the GROM challenged:

We set the GROM address ?

Then branch into ROM. 

>0070

Main entry point into the GPL interpreter.

 

Are there other cool places in GROM that can be used this way?
