Template Functions for C02 Programs
This module provides functions to read from and write to extended
memory.
Extended memory is RAM that is not directly addressable by the 6502.
Read and write operations use a 24-bit logical address, which is
comprised of an 8-bit bank and 16-bit offset and automatically updated
after each operation.
At the beginning of the program use the directives
#include <stddef.h02>
#include <xmemory.h02>
The following functions are defined:
b,d = xgetad(); Returns the current logical extended bank b
and offset d.
Note: the physical address stored in XMBANK
and XMADDR is converted to a logical bank and
offset, which are returned.
xsetad(b,d); Sets the current logical extended bank to b
and offset to d.
This extended address is used for all read and
write functions except for the page operations.
Note: the logical address is converted to a
physical address stored in XMBANK and XMADDR.
c = xgetc(); Reads a byte from the current extended address,
increments the address, and returns the byte
as c.
xputc(c); Writes byte c to the current extended address,
then increments the address.
w = xgeti(); Reads a word starting at the current extended
address, adds 2 to the address, and returns the
word as w.
xputi(w); Writes word w at the current extended address,
then adds 2 to the address.
c,w = xgetl(); Reads a long starting at the current extended
address, adds 3 to the address, and returns the
high byte of the long in c and the low word in w.
xputl(c,w); Writes the long consisting of the byte c and
word w at the current extended address, then
adds 3 to the address.
xread(n,r); Reads n bytes starting at the current extended
address into array r, then adds n to the address.
xwrite(n,r); Writes n bytes of array r starting at the current
extended address, then adds n to the address.
xswap(n,r); Swaps n bytes of array r with n bytes starting at
the current extended address, then adds n to the
address.
xload(w); Reads word w bytes into local memory starting at
the address specified by a call to setdst() from
extended memory starting at the current extended
address, then adds w to the address.
xsave(w); Writes word w bytes from local memory starting at
the address specified by a call to setsrc() into
extended memory starting at the current extended
address, then adds w to the address.
xchng(w); Swaps word w bytes in local memory starting at
the address specified by a call to setdst() with
extended memory starting at the current extended
address, then adds w to the address.
xsetpg(b,p) Sets the current extended address to bank b and
offset p * 256. This ensures that the address is
on a page boundary for subsequent page read and
write operations.
Note: The page operation are the fastest of the
block read and write functions since the code
can use indirect addressing.
xrpage(n,p); Copies n 256 byte pages starting at the current
extended bank and page to local memory starting
at address p * 256, then updates the extended
address accordingly.
xwpage(n,p); Copies n 256 bytes from local memory starting
at address p * 256 to extended memory starting at
current bank and page, then updates the extended
address accordingly.
xspage(n,p); Swaps n 256 bytes from local memory starting at
address p * 256 with extended memory starting at
current bank and page, then updates the extended
address accordingly.
Note: This library expects the following functions to be defined:
ext(); External function description
along with the zero page variables
zpage0,zpage1: Zero page variable pair
the external variables
exvar0,exvar1: External variable pair
and the constants
#CNSTNAME Constant description
