Assembling source code
An example program called “HELLO.ASM” is provided under the \EXAMPLE directory.
You can assemble your source code using command line tools under a DOS prompt by
typing:
AS11 HELLO.ASM –l cre s >HELLO.LST
Most compilers and assemblers allow many command line options so using a MAKE utility or
batch file is recommended if you use this method.
The AxIDE utility software provided with this board contains a simple interface to the free
assembler. Use it by selecting "Build" from the menu. This will prompt you for the file to be
assembled.
DO NOT
use long path names (> 8 characters). The free assembler is an old DOS tool that
does not recognize them.
If there are no errors in your source code, 2 output files will be created:
HELLO.S19
a Motorola S-Record file that can be programmed into memory
HELLO.LST
a common listing file which shows the relationship between
source and output
The listing file is especially helpful to look at when debugging your program. If your program
has errors, they will be displayed and no output will be generated, otherwise the listing file
will be displayed.
