Software

• LB-6809 code examples
• asm6809 - portable cross assembler targeting the Motorola 6809
  • Features arbitrarily complex expressions (with most C-style operators available), forward references, macro expansion and conditional assembly
  • Output formats are: Motorola SREC, Intel HEX (and others)
  • asm6809 Manual
  • Using asm6809 version 2.13
  • asm6809-2.13-w64 Local copy

Build 6809 Assembly Code (Windows 64-bit)

• Run asm6809 in Windows CMD prompt window

[path_to_asm6809.exe_program\]asm6809 loop.asm -H -l -o loop.hex

• -H option creates hex record file to download to programmer
• -l fileName option creates listing file
• -o filename option followed by output file name

Programming using TL866

• Set From File Start(Hex) to 0x0C000 when loading hex record file into TL866i Plus programmer

ROM access test code

• Assemble loop.asm (my path)

..\..\M6809_Assembler\asm6809-2.13-w64\asm6809 loop.asm -H -l loop.lst -o loop.hex

• Source code (loop.asm)

Checkout

Rev 2 Checkout

• Built
• Worked with NOP Tester

Rev 2 PCB Changes from Rev 1

• Add U1-34 to U2-7 (VPB/E)
• Eliminate oscillator
  • Add 8 MHz crystal/caps
  • Cheaper and easier to find
• Add 4.7K pullup to U1-40 (ABORT*/HALT) line
• Change resistor values to lighten up Iol
• Beef up power plane connections to J1 and CPU/cap
• Move reset switch to the top of the board (where the oscillator used to be)

Rev 1 Checkout Notes

• Did not build
• Add wire U1-34 to U2-7 (VPB/E)
• Ground XTAL pin on CPU U1-39 (to U1-1 = GND)
• Use BOM for resistor values, not silkscreen
• Add 4.7K pullup to ABORT* line
