1.0 How to Use the Cross-Assembler Package
First, the question, "What does a cross-assembler do?" needs
to be addressed as there is considerable confusion on this point.
A cross-assembler is just like any other assembler except that it
runs on some CPU other than the one for which it assembles code.
For example, this package assembles PIC1650 source code into
PIC1650 object code, but it runs on an 8088, a 68000, or whatever
other CPU you happen to have a C compiler for. The reason that
cross-assemblers are useful is that you probably already have a
CPU with memory, disk drives, a text editor, an operating system,
and all sorts of hard-to-build or expensive facilities on hand.
A cross-assembler allows you to use these facilites to develop
code for an PIC1650.
This program requires one input file (your PIC1650 source
code) and zero to two output files (the listing and the object).
The input file MUST be specified, or the assembler will bomb on a
fatal error. The listing and object files are optional. If no
listing file is specified, no listing is generated, and if no
object file is specified, no object is generated. If the object
file is specified, the object is written to this file in "Intel
hexadecimal" format.
The command line for the cross-assembler looks like this:
A16 source_file { >list_file } { -o object_file }
where the { } indicates that the specified item is optional.
Some examples are in order:
a16 test16.asm source: test16.asm
listing: none
