<sect>Overview<p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
This file contains an overview of the Atari Lynx runtime system as it comes
|
||
|
with the cc65 C compiler. It describes the memory layout, Lynx specific header
|
||
|
files, available drivers, and any pitfalls specific to that platform.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Please note that Lynx specific functions are just mentioned here, they are
|
||
|
described in detail in the separate <htmlurl url="funcref.html" name="function
|
||
|
reference">. Even functions marked as "platform dependent" may be available on
|
||
|
more than one platform. Please see the function reference for more
|
||
|
information.
|
||
|
|
||

|
||
|
<sect>Binary format<p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
The standard binary output format generated by the linker for the VIC20 target
|
||
|
is a machine language program with a one line BASIC stub. This means that a
|
||
|
program can be loaded as BASIC program and started with RUN. It is of course
|
||
|
possible to change this behaviour by using a modified startup file and linker
|
||
|
config.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
<sect>Memory layout<p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
cc65 generated programs with the default setup run with the I/O area and the
|
||
|
kernal and BASIC ROM enabled (RAM at $A000 - $BFFF may be used
|
||
|
for the heap), which gives a usable memory range of $1000 - $1DFF.
|
||
|
All ROM entry points may be called directly without additional code.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Special locations:
|
||
|
|
||
|
<descrip>
|
||
|
<tag/Text screen/
|
||
|
The text screen is located at $1E00 (as in the standard setup).
|
||
|
|
||
|
<tag/Stack/
|
||
|
The C runtime stack is located at $1DFF and growing downwards.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<tag/Heap/
|
||
|
The C heap is located at the end of the program and grows towards the C
|
||
|
runtime stack.

<sect>Platform specific header files<p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
Programs containing Lynx specific code may use the <tt/lynx.h/ header file.

<sect1>Hardware access<p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
The following pseudo variables declared in the <tt/lynx.h/ header file do
|
||
|
allow access to hardware located in the address space. Some variables are
|
||
|
structures, accessing the struct fields will access the chip registers.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<descrip>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<tag><tt/MIKEY/</tag>
|
||
|
The <tt/MIKEY/ structure allows access to MIKEY chip. See the <tt/_mikey.h/
|
||
|
header file located in the include directory for the declaration of the
|
||
|
structure.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<tag><tt/SUZY/</tag>
|
||
|
The <tt/SUZY/ structure allows access to SUZY chip. See the <tt/_suzy.h/
|
||
|
header file located in the include directory for the declaration of the
|
||
|
structure.

<sect>Loadable drivers<p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<sect1>Graphics drivers<p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
A TGI driver for the standard graphics mode (160*102 in 16 colors) is
|
||
|
available, but must be statically linked, because no file I/O is available.
|
||
|
See the documentation for the <htmlurl url="co65.html" name="co65 utility">
|
||
|
for information on how to do that.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
<sect1>Extended memory drivers<p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
No extended memory drivers are currently available for the Lynx.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
<sect1>Joystick drivers<p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
A joystick driver for the standard buttons is available, but must be
|
||
|
statically linked, because no file I/O is available. See the documentation for
|
||
|
the <htmlurl url="co65.html" name="co65 utility"> for information on how to do
|
||
|
that.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
<sect1>Mouse drivers<p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
No mouse drivers are currently available for the Lynx.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
<sect1>RS232 device drivers<p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
No serial drivers are currently available for the Lynx.
