6301 Assembler for Windows

The Crossware 6301 Assembler for Windows is a sophisticated relocatable macro cross assembler that generates code for the 6301 and 6801 microprocessor families. It comes complete with the Crossware Embedded Development Studio and runs under Windows 7 and above.

HIGHLIGHTS

OVERVIEW

The package includes the following tools and utilities:

TECHNICAL DETAILS

RELOCATABLE MACRO CROSS ASSEMBLER

The cross assembler converts assembler code into an intermediate object module format which is subsequently linked with other intermediate object modules to create the final program. Features include:

RELOCATING LINKER

The linker combines object modules created with the compiler and/or the assembler to create the final code that will run on your target system. It carries out the following functions:

The target program can be produced in a number of different formats including Motorola S records, HP/Microtec IEEE695 format or as a binary rom image.

An optional link map will show the final location and sizes of all segments and the values of all global variables.

DEBUG OUTPUT

The assembler can optionally generate full source level debug information. The linker updates these debug records to take account of the final location of the target program and outputs them to the target program file in IEEE695 format. Debuggers and in-circuit emulators that support this popular format can then use it to facilitate full source level debugging.

LIBRARY MANAGER

Instead of being used to create a final target program, the object modules produced by the compiler and assembler can be integrated into a library. The library manager performs the tasks of:

MAKE UTILITY

The MAKE utility simplifies the task of keeping object files, libraries and target programs up-to-date. It detects if any source or dependency files have changed since the last build and runs the appropriate tools (compiler, assembler, linker or library manager) to rebuild out-of-date files. It supports many advanced features including macros, inference rules, conditional inclusion and other preprocessing directives and in-line files with automatic temporary file creation.

Although the Embedded Development Studio uses its own integrated routines to keep projects up-to-date, this stand-alone MAKE utility can be used to build projects from the command-line or from within another application. The Embedded Development Studio will automatically create a makefile which is fully compatible with this stand-alone MAKE utility.

HOST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

PC running Windows 7 or above (32-bit or 64-bit).
