Does it _have_ to be an o65 format file?! Yes, drivers must be in o65 format, because this format is relocatable (= can be loaded at any address). > if yes, how do i produce such a file?? The easiest way is to use the existing source tree. Place your driver in the platform directory (libsrc/c64 in your case), add it to the EMDS stanza of the makefile and then run "make c64lib" in the libsrc directory. Your driver will then be built as any other driver. The harder way is to assemble and link the driver manually. In this case you do need the zeropage.s module from the source tree: ca65 -t c64 zeropage.s ca65 -t c64 -I /path/to/asminc/dir mydriver.s ld65 -t module -o mydriver.emd mydriver.o zeropage.o > i found nothing in the docs concerning this. This is true, because the information can be easily retrieved from the existing Makefiles. > the driver code offers routines for INSTALL, UNINSTALL, USE, MAP, > COMMIT, COPYFROM and COPYTO complying to the prototypes in em.h There's a test program for emd drivers: testcode/lib/em-test.c It runs a few minutes (depending on the size and speed of the external memory), and finds quite a few errors. At least it did in the drivers I wrote:-) Regards Uz -- Ullrich von Bassewitz uz@musoftware.de ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo@musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.Received on Thu Aug 3 09:56:48 2006
