# Building for the "Juke Box" EPROM expansion
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The demo contained in the repo are meant to be launched from the Apple-1 "Juke Box"
|
|
|
|
|
EPROM expansion at address $4000. The executables are built according to the
|
|
|
|
|
following memory map:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$0000-$00FF zero page: holds most of C program variables
|
|
|
|
|
$0280-$0FFF low RAM space: C program "Data" segment
|
|
|
|
|
$4000-$7581 EPROM (Juke Box): C program "Code" segment
|
|
|
|
|
$7582-$7FFF EPROM (Juke Box): C program "Data" segment (startup values)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The build script "mkeprom.js" creates a 16K binary file to be placed on the
|
|
|
|
|
EPROM where the "Data" segment startup values are put at the end of the file itself.
|
|
|
|
|
The user program need to manually copy such data from EPROM to low RAM once after
|
|
|
|
|
the `main()` is launched. That can be easily done by simply calling the library
|
|
|
|
|
function `apple1_eprom_init()`.
