Greetings:
For a change of pace (or a hands-on introduction to using an in-circuit emulator), please try:
Here you will have realtime access to ICE hardware and you can compile/assemble/execute/debug example code or your own code. Please try the DC-200Hz digital oscilloscope and my take on Tom Pittman's 1977 TinyBasic interpreter available both the in the 'precompiled' and 'ucos-ii compile' sections.
The 'scope has standard controls like horiz. timebase selection, vert. position, scale illum., triggered- sweep (positive slope) or free-run, trace freeze, etc.; feel free to add features like delayed-sweep, one-shot, coarse vertical gain (using a to d scaling), etc. I will add a voltage controlled preamp to the vertical at some point with gain selection and the rest of the features expected on a 'scope.
I have configured TinyBasic with 4k of core which is enough for most of the antique applications which it hosted; for now please try the few samples in the menu. I will be adding more entertaining ones.
The site does not provide exclusive access; please 'log in' to the irc chat session at the bottom of the main page when you are using the emulator and co-ordinate activity with others 'in the queue'. The chat applet needs fixing: it will scroll the message buffer with each 'PING? PONG!' message even if they are hidden so after about ten minutes past text has vanished, and automatic join of the channel doesn't work. You will need to type /join #hmi-200 in the entry box and also make your presence known every so often.
Examples in the 'compile' section are very basic demonstrations of techniques on the target and do not represent best practices; examples in the 'ucos-ii compile' and 'precompiled' sections are more edifying.
Please read the 'quick start guide' (a conveniently floating window and printer-friendly) for operational notes.
Interesting code is very welcome and will be added to the menus.
