It is possible for this generous choice to make initial use of a system confusing but fortunately, most of the low cost systems make use of the same monitor program, BUFFALO, which means that the programmer is presented with a common interface to the system and can make use of a common set of subroutine routines in the on-board BUFFALO ROM. Another characteristic of the 68HC11 family of devices, that they contain the same core set of internal peripherals, means users are presented with a fairly uniform piece of hardware to work with so confusion is avoided. Note that some recent devices now provide additional internal peripherals or have more flexible input/output ports. This document provides useful information for assembly language programmers who are just beginning to use a 68HC11-based µprocessor system. Code assembly and down- loading of object files is described for both UNIX and PC based software development environments, and a summary of assembler directives is provided. Appendices include a table of 68HC11 CPU instructions and a summary of important BUFFALO subroutine entry points and vectors. Where appropriate, specific information for the Motorola Universal Evaluation Board (EVBU) system and the University of Wollongong F1 system is given. The Motorola EVBU system supports a number of MC68HC11 variants including A8, E9, and 711E9 on a small PCB with a small prototyping area. These MC68HC11s have 512 bytes of EEPROM and 256 (A8) or 512 (E9,711E9) bytes of RAM. The A8 and E9 devices usually contain BUFFALO in ROM while the 711E9 contains EPROM that the user may program. Recently, the E series devices have had versions with larger EEPROM available, e.g. the 811E2 has 2K of EEPROM, while the A8 is no longer manufactured. The EVBU has an RS232 interface and a real time clock chip (MC68HC68T1) that is connected to the CPU via the serial peripheral bus. The Wollongong F1 system uses the MC68HC11F1FN device which contains similar internal peripherals to the A8 and E9 devices and the same amount of EEPROM but it has 0K bytes of internal ROM and 1K bytes of internal RAM. In this system, BUFFALO (and any other desired firmware) is stored in an external 32K EPROM. The board can also hold a 32K RAM device so tasks requiring additional storage are feasible. Much of the design of the system is in the public domain to assist the micro-controller enthusiast and the reference manual includes the complete circuit diagram and describes operation and construction of the CPU board plus the various configuration options (memory devices supported, etc). A list of part suppliers is included, with Australian and U.S.A. sources available for the (very) economical CPU PCB, a motor controller interface PCB, and a keypad and LCD module interface PCB. The various PCBs are relatively small and stack together in a compact manner suitable for mobile robot experiments. C language programming is also supported. Note that the F1 variant of the 68HC11 is available with clock frequencies of 8MHz (MC68HC11F1FN), 12MHz (MC68HC11F1FN3) and 16MHz (MC68HC11F1FN4) allowing a system \E" bus clock of 2MHz, 3MHz, and 4MHz respectively.

  • Build a Swtpc 6800
    Southwest Technical Products Corporation 6800 Computer System The Southwest Technical Products 6800 computer system is based upon the Motorola MC6800 microprocessor unit (MPU) and its matching support devices. The 6800 system was chosen for our computer because this set of parts is currently in our opinion the "Benchmark Family" for microprocessor computer systems. It makes it possible for us to provide you with an outstanding computer system having a minimum of parts, but with outstanding versatility and ease of use. In addition to the outstanding hardware system, the Motorola 6800 has without question the most complete set of documentation yet made available for a microprocessor system. The 714 page Applications Manual, for example, contains material on programming techniques, system organization, input/output techniques, hardware characteristics, peripheral control techniques, and more. Also available is a Programmers Manual which details the various types of software available for the system and instructions for programming and using the unique interface system that is part of the 6800 system. The M6800 family of parts minimizes the number of, required components and support parts, provides extremely simple interfacing to external devices and has outstanding documentation. The MC6800 is an eight-bit parallel microprocessor with addressing capability of up to 45,536 words (BYTES) of data. The system is TTL compatible requiring only a single fine-volt power supply. All devices and memory in the 6800 computer family are connected to an 8-bit bi-directional data bus. In addition to this a 16-bit address bus is provided to specify memory location. This later bus is also used as a tool to specify the particular input/ output device to be selected when the 6800 family interface devices are used.

  • Go Forth with TTL !
    Go Forth with TTL ! The Gigatron TTL Color Computer Forth for a Very Unusual Processor Ken Boak SV Fig. Forth Day 2019 . In September of 1975, MOS Technology launched the 6502 at the Wescon75 Computer Conference in San Francisco. Chuck Peddle and his team had created a very lean, stripped down, small die cpu. Costing just $25, the 6502 was a fraction of the cost of its nearest competitor. At that time the Intel 8080 was $360 and the Motorola 6800 was $175 . The 6502 was clearly a disruptive usurper. 25 year old, HP Engineer, Steve Wozniak, realised that this new microprocessor would be a game-changer and went on to incorporate it into the small computer he was developing. That machine went on to become the Apple I. In 1975 7400 TTL was the “Bread and Butter” of logic design: 7400 series TTL integrated circuits were developed in the early 1960’s. Initially quite expensive so mainly used in Military and Aerospace applications. By the early 1970’s TTL had become a versatile family of standardised, low cost,. easy to use logic. Typically about $1 per device. 7400 series logic was widely used in the design of minicomputers, including the PDP-11, the Data General Nova 1200 and later models of PDP-8. TTL was a viable, faster and cheaper processing solution than the emerging 8-bit microprocessors such as MOS 6502, Intel 8080 and the Motorola 6800. Essential Reading 16-bit TTL CPU board from Data General Nova 1200 The Gigatron TTL Computer – What is it? Started as a Hackaday.io project in Spring 2017 by Marcel van Kervinck of The Hague, Netherlands.

    Preface Like many American kids in 1979, I woke up to find that Santa had left a brand new Atari VCS1 under the tree (thanks, Mom and Dad, for paying Santa’s invoice!). This was a pretty big deal for a six- year-old who could tell you the location and manufacturer of every standup arcade cabinet within a five mile radius. Having an “arcade in your home” wasn’t just a thing you saw on Silver Spoons, it was now a real thing. The sights and sounds that jumped o↵ of our little Panasonic color TV probably deserve a gigantic run-on sentence worthy of Dylan Thomas, as my brother and I bounced tiny pixellated missiles o↵ of walls in Combat, combed through the perplexing game modes of Space Invaders, battled angry duck-like dragons in Adventure, and became Superman as we put flickering bad guys in a flickering jail. These cartridges were opaque obelisks packaged in boxes with fantastically unattainable illustrations, available at K-Mart for $30 or so. You could tell these species of video games weren’t related to arcade games, though they had a unique look-and-feel of their own. We also had an Apple ][ by this time, so I tried to fit all of these creatures into a digital taxonomy. Atari games had colors and fast motion, but not as much as arcade games, and they never were as complex as Apple ][ games. What made them tick? Why were Activision games so much more detailed? Would the missile still blow up your spaceship if you turned the TV o↵? (Turns out the answer is yes.) 1 It wasn’t sold as “Atari 2600” until 1982.
