Commodore 64

The platform/c64/ directory is used for targeting a Commodore 64 computer. Most things are shared between the 6502-based targets so please consult cpu/6502/README for further details.

The following C64 Ethernet cards are supported:

  • RR+RR-Net: Use driver cs8900a.eth with address $DE08.
  • TFE: Use driver cs8900a.eth with address $DE00.
  • ETH64: Use driver lan91c96.eth with address $DE00.

In most cases it is desirable to use an emulator for the development and testing of a Contiki application. VICE is especially well suited as it emulates both the RR-Net and TFE Ethernet cards. It is available at http://www.viceteam.org/.

The c64 target supports a PFS that requires less RAM than the POSIX file system and converts UNIX path names to CMD syntax for CMD drives and IDEDOS 0.90+. Its primary feature however is support for IDE64 fast read/write.
