asm6809 2.0 released

Post by sixxie »

A portable cross-assembler with macros...

Manual
Source code
Ubuntu PPA
Windows binary

And my own Debian apt repository that I try to keep up to date with amd64 and i386 snapshot builds of my software. Add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

Code: Select all

deb http://www.6809.org.uk/debian testing main
deb-src http://www.6809.org.uk/debian testing main
Output formats are raw binary, DragonDOS, CoCo (RSDOS, or "DECB"), SREC & Intel Hex.

This has been able to handle all my code for some while in the prereleases, but I've delayed calling it a proper release until it handled 6309 - and here it is!

Apart from a few ways in which it accepts what I think to be nicer syntax, there isn't really much reason to use this in preference to LWTOOLS, which handles more use cases. But it's smallish, portable, and gave me a good excuse to play with lex & yacc :)

There are probably a few features it could still do with - include directories, assembly conditionals and accepting more syntax forms - but as it stands, it gets the job done. If you try it and find any code that it doesn't handle (outside the small syntax requirements listed in the manual), please let me know!

Great stuff. Now all I need is some time to play around with Dragon assembler programming again...
