z80sim README
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This port uses a primitive, emulated Z80 and the SDCC toolchain.
This port uses an instruction set simulator called z80sim.
The SDCC toolchain is available from http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/. All
testing has been performed using version 2.6.0 of the SDCC toolchain.

Configuring NuttX
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ostest
This configuration performs a simple, minimal OS test using
examples/ostest. This can be configured as follows:
1) From a POSIX window:
tools/configure.sh [OPTIONS] z80sim/ostest
where you need to select the right [OPTIONS] for your build
environment. Do:
tools/configure.sh -h
to see the options.
2) Make sure that your PATH environment variable includes the path
to the SDCC toolchain.
3) Then build the binaries:
make
NOTES:
1. This configuration uses the mconf-based configuration tool. See the
"Reconfiguring" section below for information about changing this
configuration.
2. The default setup for this configuration builds under Linux.
See the section entitled "Reconfiguring for Windows Native, Cygwin,
or macOS" which will give you the steps you would need to do to convert
this configuration to build in other environments.
3. This configuration was last verified successfully prior to the
the configure to Kconfig/mconf tool using SDCC 2.6.0 built to run
natively under Cygwin. The current build requires ca. 3.2.1 SDCC.
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:
1) From a POSIX window:
tools/configure.sh [OPTIONS] z80sim/nsh
where you need to select the right [OPTIONS] for your build
environment. Do:
tools/configure.sh -h
to see the options.
2) Set the PATH environment variable to include the path to the SDCC
toolchain.
3) Then build the binaries:
make
NOTES:
1. This configuration uses the mconf-based configuration tool. See the
"Reconfiguring" section below for information about changing this
configuration.
2. The default setup for this configuration uses a windows native build.
See the section entitled "Reconfiguring for Windows Native, Cygwin,
or macOS" which will give you the steps you would need to do to convert
this configuration to build in other environments.
3. This configuration was last verified successfully prior to the
the configure to Kconfig/mconf tool using SDCC 2.6.0 built to run
natively under Cygwin.nsh/defconfig:CONFIG_BOARD_LOOPSPERMSEC
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:
1) From a POSIX window:
tools/configure.sh [OPTIONS] z80sim/pashello
where you need to select the right [OPTIONS] for your build
environment. Do:
tools/configure.sh -h
to see the options.
2) Set the PATH environment variable to include the path to the SDCC
toolchain binaries.
3) Then build the binaries:
make
NOTES:
1. This configuration uses the mconf-based configuration tool. See the
"Reconfiguring" section below for information about changing this
configuration.
2. The default setup for this configuration uses a windows native build.
See the section entitled "Reconfiguring for Windows Native, Cygwin,
or macOS" which will give you the steps you would need to do to convert
this configuration to build in other environments.
3. This configuration was last verified successfully prior to the
the configure to Kconfig/mconf tool using SDCC 2.6.0 built to run
natively under Cygwin.nsh/defconfig:CONFIG_BOARD_LOOPSPERMSEC
Reconfiguring NuttX
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
These configurations all use the kconfig-frontends, mconf-based configuration
tool. To change this configuration using that tool, you should:
a. Build and install the kconfig-mconf tool. See nuttx/README.txt and
additional README.txt files in the NuttX tools repository.
b. Execute 'make menuconfig' in nuttx/ in order to start the reconfiguration
process.
Reconfiguring for Windows Native, Cygwin, or macOS
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
All of the z80 configurations in this this directory are set up to build
under Linux. That configuration can be converted to run natively in a
Windows CMD.exe shell. That configuration requires the MinGW host compiler
and several GNUWin32 tools (see discussion in the top-level NuttX/README.txt
file) and the following changes to the configuation file:
-CONFIG_HOST_LINUX=y
+CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y
+CONFIG_WINDOWS_NATIVE=y
-CONFIG_Z80_TOOLCHAIN_SDCCL=y
+CONFIG_Z80_TOOLCHAIN_SDCCW=y
You may need to first manually change the CONFIG_APPS_DIR="../apps"
definition in the .config file because the forward slash may upset some
Windows-based tools.
This configuration will require a recent version of SDCC (ca. 3.2.1) for Linux
or custom built for Cygwin (see below).
SDCC
^^^^
These z80 configurations all use the SDCC toolchain (http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/).
Source and pre-built SDCC binaries can be downloaded from the SDCC SourceForge
site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sdcc/files/ . Pre-built binaries are
available for Linux, macOS, and for Win32. Various SDCC options can be
selected with:
CONFIG_Z80_TOOLCHAIN_SDCCL=y : SDCC for Linux, macOS or Cygwin (see below)
CONFIG_Z80_TOOLCHAIN_SDCCW=y : SDCC for Win32
SDCC versions 3.2.0 or higher are recommended.
Building the SDCC toolchain
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You may also want to build your own SDCC toolchain. You might want to do this,
for example, if you are running under Cygwin and want a Cygwin compatible
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
Note if you do not have the gputils packet installed, newer version of the
SDCC configure will fail. You will have to either install the gputils
package or if you don't need PIC14 or PIC16 support:
./configure --disable-pic14-port --disable-pic16-port
Then make the SDCC binaries
make
and install SDCC:
sudo make install
