The D6 Manual
If your interested in learning machine code programming, writing C
programs to go on EPROM, or struggling with an incomprehensible data sheet
then look no further. The following are covered in the manual.
- Machine Code Programming, Registers and Memory
- Debugging programs, Breakpoints and Single Stepping
- Downloading Files
- Writing C programs
- Debugging C Programs
- Interrupts, Timers, Programming intelligent Chips
- Source Code Debugging Using Turbo Debugger
- Writing Programs to go on EPROM
The D6 manual is available as
There is also a printed reference manual which includes data sheets etc.
(Unfortunately not available electronically.)
A library of routines have been written which access the keypad, display and
timers. There are also routines to drive some of the many STE (IEEE 1000) boards
that are available. One example is a driver for the Zilog SCC which is
documented
here.
There is lots of software available, including PC tools to locate code,
download code and debug code. There is even the backend of Turbo Debugger
remote from an October 1991 Dr Dobbs Journal written by Stuart Philips
and Kevin Rowett of Solaris.
I intend to make it available when i get time, let me know if you are interested.
