<sect>Building you first Hello World application<p>
Here is a small traditional Hello World program for the Atari Lynx.
<tscreen><verb>
#include <lynx.h>
#include <tgi.h>
#include <6502.h>
extern char lynxtgi[];
void main(void) {
tgi_install(&amp;lynxtgi);
tgi_init();
CLI();
while (tgi_busy())
;
tgi_clear();
tgi_setcolor(COLOR_GREEN);
tgi_outtextxy(0, 0, "Hello World");
tgi_updatedisplay();
while (1)
;
}
</verb></tscreen>
The lynx.h contains all kind of system dependent things.
The tgi.h contains the graphics driver functions.
The 6502.h is needed for executing the CLI() command.
As the Atari Lynx does not have ASCII characters available you need to use
the Tiny Graphics Interface library for producing letters on the screen.
The cc65 compiler suite has a graphics library called "Tiny Graphics Interface". This interface has some relocatable code. In order to use this in your own program you need to load it at run time.
Unfortunately the Lynx does not have a disk drive from where to load it. Therefore you must already load it at compile time. The easiest way is to link it in statically.
This relocatable driver is found in $(CC65_HOME)/tgi/lynx-160-102-16.tgi. Copy it from here.
The name comes from 160 by 102 pixels (The Lynx LCD size), 16 colors.
In order to link in this statically we have to make it back to a source file so that we can compile it. The next command will turn the compiled driver object file into an assembler source and compile it with the ca65 assembler.
<tscreen><verb>
co65 --code-label _lynxtgi lynx-160-102-16.tgi
ca65 -t lynx lynx-160-102-16.s
</verb></tscreen>
This will create a linkable object file called lynx-160-102-16.o
Then we need to compile our main file to a linkable object file.
<tscreen><verb>
cc65 -t lynx main.c
ca65 -t lynx main.s
</verb></tscreen>
Finally we have to link them together to produce an executable cart.
<tscreen><verb>
cl65 -t lynx -o game.lnx main.o lynx-160-102-16.o lynx.lib
</verb></tscreen>
This will create a bootable cart image called game.lnx

is a cart image. By specifying the config file lynx-bll.cfg the linker will
generate BLL download compatible binary files.
You can also produce real carts with directory structures and encrypted
headers by modifying the startup and linker config files. There is a simple
example archive called <tt/lynx-cart-demo/ in the <htmlurl
url="ftp://ftp.musoftware.de/pub/uz/cc65/contrib/" name="contrib directory">
that shows how to create a complete bootable Lynx cart.
It is of course possible to change this behaviour by using a modified startup
file and linker config.
The bootloader used in the cc65 lynx library uses a very minimal bootloader
that does not check the cart or show a title screen.
The advantage of this bootloader is that it allows creation of cart images to
many common formats.

We have no handshaking available. Even software handshake is impossible

Both transmit and receive are interrupt driven. The driver reserves a fixed
area $200-$2ff for the transmit ring buffer and $300-$3ff for the receive
ring buffer. This area can not be used at startup for anything as the Lynx
ROM needs this area for decryption purposes.
