Looking for a 6809 IDE...

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.vectrex (More info?)

Hello,

I'm taking my first unbalanced steps into the wonderful world of Vectrex
programming using MC6809 assembler.

Right now I'm trying to work my way through all the documents I found about
Vectrex programming. Linking all the bits and pieces consisting of
tutorials, manuals and sources, mainly the docs found @
http://www.playvectrex.com/designit_f.htm

Together with my soon to be expected VecFlash I'm al ready to go!

What I'm really looking for now is a nice IDE (integrated dev environment)
to help me in my quest. Any suggestions will be very much appreciated. Also
pointers to good sources about 6809 assembly (which is new to me) are more
than welcome.

Man if there ever was a good reason to learn 6809 it sure as hell must be
for the Vectrex! This must be one of the coolest systems to develop for!

Well,

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

dgo

Lotsa fun! Go to the Motorola website via playvectrex.com and they will
send a 68A09 programming manual for free!

Thanks Rob,

I just ordered it.

I found an IDE which seems pretty much what I was searching for.
Support for 6809 ASM incorporated as well as support for MESS. When you
build, it automatically runs you bin in Mess. Very handy indeed.
It's a pretty simple editor, but it beats Notepad..

Sounds cool. Also, so does the free manual from Motorola. I'm having
trouble using the search feature on the download site though - anyone else
seeing an issue?

Hey, one question on that - can you hook in an external assembler like
AS09?

No, It is limited to the build in support for ccasm, mamou and casm

I haven't used these - how compatible are they with AS09? I must admit to
being a beginner to Vectrex development, but I remember when trying to
assemble sample code that it was the only version of AS (and possibly)
other assemblers) that I could get to succeed with the compilation.

In a related note, it's my understanding the AS09 is THE way to go for
Vectrex development. If that's incorrect, someone please shed the light
over here. I hope to order my VecFlash and start a-playin' pretty soon!

thanks

Well,

(From one beginner to another ) Everything I tried to assemble uptil now
runs fine in MESS. It seems very useable for Vectrex developement

Why don't you download the demo version of Portal-9 ? It comes with
ccasm+docs and you can assemble your stuff with it without the need to
register/buy anything...


Regards,

aso9 is the compiler that you want to use. And with VecFlash you can
run your own programs on the Vectrex console!

Is version 1.11 the appropriate version to use? Seems like I tried later
releases and had issues with them.

thanks

The Portal-9 IDE has transformed into a much better IDE called Rainbow (www.rainbowide.com) which does very well for Vectrex and other 6809 machines. Portal-9 can still be found at coco3.com in the downloads section.
