Building CP/M BIOS

[Richard Davis Jr.]

All,

I am trying to add the Dual CF device to CP/M BIOS.

Progress has been slow but steady.

I have now hit a brick wall. I am getting "Phase Error" from prel. This occurred after updating my read/write code. Things were fine until I did this.

 My code is enabled whenever H17T is set to 1

DCFT EQU H17T

See below,

Thanks,

Rick

First thing I see is that the REN commands are failing, so BIOS.HX0 and BIOS.HX1 have whatever data was previously in them - not the data from the latest ASM. You probably need to do something like "ERA B:BIOS.HX?" before you start the build (or as the first part of the SUB file).

Easier to use pip and not ren.

Bad example. I forgot to delete the files from the previous failure.

Here is the same output with no rename issues.

PREL Phase Error indicates "bad address" in the hex file. What is a "bad address"?

A -- H17 ONLY
B -- H37 ONLY
C -- H47 ONLY
D -- H67 ONLY
E -- H17 AND H37
F -- H17 AND H47
G -- H17 AND H67
H -- H37 AND H47
I -- H37 AND H67
J -- H47 AND H67

All,

Must be a bug in PREL 2.03

PREP 2.04 resolves the issue.
