#6502CPU

Topaz 🐇<p>I managed to get a 6502 CPU running on the ULX3S and wrote a 16 color indexed display RAM module for it. The CPU also has access to all the buttons and the LEDs, which are counting up the current low byte of display RAM. Its the most complex bit of Verilog I've written so far. I hope to add basic sound support next, and then I'll have made my own little toy console to mess with. <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ulx3s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ulx3s</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/fpga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fpga</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/6502CPU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>6502CPU</span></a></p>

Daniel<p>"Calypsi" is a collection of compilers and assemblers that run under Windows, Linux and macOS and can generate code for various retro platforms - 6502 and 68000 processors are supported, among others. Although the project is hosted on Github, the source code is not freely available and use of the tools is only permitted for private purposes. Now version 5.10 is available.

Ian Neill<p>Just arrived today... Ordered this as I am not sure if the one I have is faulty.</p><p>Most likely it is my Arduino glue logic code that is faulty and not the <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/6502CPU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>6502CPU</span></a>. However, just in case I do break, or have broken it, there is no harm having a spare!</p><p>Also, there is no such thing as having too many 6502's 😁</p>

0x10f<p>Two versions of a 6502 assembly routine. We have a byte in X. Its bits are denoted %ABCDEF00. We want to get bits %0BCADEF1 in the accumulator. Each version is 23 bytes. The first one doesn't need a look-up table. The second one does but is much faster and doesn't need a temporary variable.<br><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/6502cpu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>6502cpu</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/assembly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>assembly</span></a></p><p>; version 1<br>txa<br>and #%01100000<br>sta temp<br>txa<br>lsr a<br>lsr a<br>lsr a<br>and #%00010000<br>ora temp<br>sta temp<br>txa<br>lsr a<br>and #%00001110<br>ora temp<br>ora #%00000001</p><p>; version 2<br>txa<br>asl a<br>rol a<br>rol a<br>rol a<br>and #%00000111<br>tay<br>txa<br>lsr a<br>and #%00001110<br>ora table,y<br>...<br>; look-up table for version 2<br>table: db $01, $21, $41, $61, $11, $31, $51, $71</p>

Mark J Koch ✅<p>Cyberspace-1 clock board up and running! Other than solder issue, it just works. The crystal clock source seems to run but not at the right rate. Will need to debug that.

Mark J Koch ✅<p>Time to toggle off the Zodiac project while I wait for a couple missing parts to show up. Moved over to my Cyberspace-1 home brew 6502 project. Remaining parts showed up for that yesterday so had a Zen solder party to get this one ready for bring-up tomorrow. If this works, I can continue design work for the CPU card, memory card and Video/IO card. Loosely based on the HBC-56 homebrew computer by a GitHub user called visrealm. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homebrewcomputer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homebrewcomputer</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/6502CPU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>6502CPU</span></a></p>
