Getting a TRS80 emulator and DOS disks
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
This port uses a vintage computer based on the Z80, the TRS80.
|
|
There's a main page describing the different models of TRS80.
|
|
See: http://www.trs-80.com
|
|
|
|
An emulator for this computer is available to run TRS80 programs on a
|
|
linux platform (http://www.tim-mann.org/xtrs.html).
|
|
|
|
Other emulators are available for other platforms.
|
|
See http://www.trs-80.com, click on the link Emulators.
|
|
|
|
TRSDOS, LDOS and other softwares are available at:
|
|
http://discover-net.net/~dmkeil/trs80/software/trs-dos.htm
|
|
|
|
Or you can get TRSDOS 1.3 and 6.1 from this site; it's included with the emulator.
|
|
http://discover-net.net/~dmkeil/trs80/model4.htm
|
|
|
|
The SDCC toolchain is available from http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/. All
|
|
testing has been performed using version 2.7.0 of the SDCC toolchain.
|
|
|
|
Loading an executable into xtrs
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
At http://www.trs-80.com click on the link: Getting a Software Onto an Emulator.
|
|
|
|
Configuring NuttX
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
ostest
|
|
This configuration performs a simple, minimal OS test using
|
|
examples/ostest. This can be configurated as follows:
|
|
|
|
cd tools
|
|
./configure.sh xtrs/ostest
|
|
cd -
|
|
. ./setenv.sh
|
|
|
|
|
|
nsh
|
|
This configuration file builds NSH (examples/nsh). This
|
|
configuration is not functional due to issues with use of the
|
|
simulated serial driver (see the TODO list).
|
|
|
|
This configuration can be selected by:
|
|
|
|
cd tools
|
|
./configure.sh xtrs/nsh
|
|
cd -
|
|
. ./setenv.sh
|
|
|
|
pashello
|
|
Configures to use examples/pashello for execution from FLASH
|
|
See examples/README.txt for information about pashello.
|
|
|
|
This configuration is not usable because the resulting binary
|
|
is too large for the z80 address space.
|
|
|
|
This configuration can be selected by:
|
|
|
|
cd tools
|
|
./configure.sh xtrs/pashello
|
|
cd -
|
|
. ./setenv.sh
|
|
|
|
Building the SDCC toolchain
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The SDCC toolchain is built with the standard configure/make/make install
|
|
sequence. However, some special actions are required to generate libraries
|
|
compatible with this build. First start with the usual steps
|
|
|
|
download
|
|
unpack
|
|
cd sdcc
|
|
./configure
|
|
|
|
But before making, we need to apply a patch to the SDCC 2.6.0 source
|
|
so that the z80 assembler can handle long symbol names
|
|
|
|
Apply sdcc-2.6.0-asz80-symlen.patch
|
|
cd sdcc/device/lib
|
|
|
|
Then make the SDCC binaries
|
|
|
|
cd sdcc
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
and install SDCC:
|
|
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
|
|
SDCC Update
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
I have had some problems building sdcc-2.6.0 on my current UBUNTU
|
|
release (9.10). I had other problems building sdcc-2.9.0 on UBUNTU 9.10.
|
|
I suspect that the newer gcc toolchains are causing problems for these
|
|
older SDCC releases.
|
|
|
|
A 20091106 snapshot did build with no major problems on UBUNTU 9.10, but
|
|
has some compatibilty problems with the older SDCC compiler. For one, you
|
|
will need to change the Z80 assember name and options in the Make.defs
|
|
files as follows:
|
|
|
|
-AS = as-z80
|
|
+AS = sdasz80
|
|
|
|
- @$(AS) $(ASFLAGS) $2 $1
|
|
+ $(AS) $(ASFLAGS) $1
|
|
|
|
For another, I had other problems building with that 20091106 that look
|
|
like compiler bugs. If you are using UBUNTU 9.10, you may have to either
|
|
(1) downgrade your GCC compiler to a version 3.x compiler and use one of
|
|
the older stable releases, or (2) wait for the next stable SDCC release
|
|
after 2.9.0.
|
|
|
|
Newer SDCC Versions
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
This is the text of bug 3468951 reported on the SourceForge website:
|
|
|
|
"Some obsolete stuff in z80sim port," (submitted by Philipp Klaus Krause):
|
|
|
|
The simz80 port needs a few updates to work well with current sdcc versions,
|
|
and has some unecessary stuff:
|
|
|
|
* The linker name for Make.defs should be sdldz80
|
|
* The assembler name for Make.defs should be sdasz80
|
|
* _asm and _endasm in z80_io.c and z80_irq.c should be replaced by __asm
|
|
and __endasm
|
|
* The --stack-auto --int-long-reent --float-reent options or Make.defs should
|
|
be removed, as they have no effect on sdcc's z80 port
|
|
* The current assembler AFAIK can handle long symbol names, so the
|
|
sdcc-2.6.0-asz80-symlen.patch is unnecessary, and it and the corresponding
|
|
section from the README can be removed.
|
|
|
|
These changes have not yet been incorporated or verified. |
