<abstract>
An overview over the Ohio Scientific runtime system as it is implemented for the cc65 C
compiler.

<sect>Overview<p>
This file contains an overview of the Ohio Scientific runtime system as it comes with the
cc65 C compiler. It describes the memory layout, Ohio Scientific-specific header files,
and any pitfalls specific to that platform.
Please note that Ohio Scientific-specific functions are just mentioned here, they are
described in detail in the separate <url 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>Targets<p>
Currently the target "osic1p" is implemented. This works for the Ohio Scientific
Challenger 1P machine.
<sect>Binary format<p>
The standard binary output format generated by the linker for the osic1p target
is a machine language program.<p>
For uploading into a real machine over the serial port or into an emulator a
program must be converted to a text file that is understood by the 65V PROM
monitor. For this purpose the srec_cat program from the
<url url="http://srecord.sourceforge.net/" name="SRecord"> tool collection can be used.
Care must be taken that the -offset and -execution-start-address options for the srec_cat
program correspond to the start address of the executable.
Example for converting an executable "hello" that was built for the default
start address &dollar;0200 to an uploadable file "hello.c1p":
<tscreen>
srec_cat hello -binary -offset 0x200 -o hello.c1p -Ohio_Scientific -execution-start-address=0x200
</tscreen>
<sect>Memory layout<p>
By default programs compiled for the osic1p target are configured for 32 kB RAM.
The RAM size can be configured via the symbol __HIMEM__.
Special locations:
<descrip>
<tag/Program start address/
The default start address is &dollar;0200. The start address is configurable
via the compiler option --start-addr.
<tag/Stack/
The C runtime stack is located at the top of RAM and growing downwards.
The size is configurable via the symbol __STACKSIZE__. The default
stack size is &dollar;0400.
<tag/Heap/
The C heap is located at the end of the program and grows towards the C
runtime stack.
<tag/Video RAM/
The 1 kB video RAM is located at &dollar;D000. On the monitor only a subset
of the available video RAM is visible. The address of the upper left corner
of the visible area is $dollar;D085 and corresponds to conio cursor
position (0, 0).
</descrip><p>
Example for building a program with start address &dollar;0300, stack size
&dollar;0200 and RAM size &dollar;0200:
<tscreen>
cl65 --start-addr 0x300 -Wl -D,__HIMEM__=$2000,-D,__STACKSIZE__=$0300 -t osic1p hello.c
</tscreen>
<sect>Platform-specific header files<p>
Programs containing PET-specific code may use the <tt/pet.h/ or <tt/cbm.h/
header files.
<sect1>PET-specific functions<p>
There are currently no special Ohio Scientific functions.
<sect1>Hardware access<p>
There is no specific support for direct hardware access.
<sect>Loadable drivers<p>
There are no loadable drivers available.
<sect>Limitations<p>
<sect1>conio implementation<p>
The conio implementation is complete except for the kbhit() function. A
call to cgetc() always blocks until a character is entered.
<sect1>stdio implementation<p>
There is no support for stdio at the moment.
<sect>Other hints<p>
<sect1>Passing arguments to the program<p>
There is currently no support for passing arguments to a program.
<sect1>Program return code<p>
The program return code currently has no effect. When the main() function
finishes, the boot prompt is shown again.
