Assembly Code Development
From F256 Foenix
Numerous assemblers are available for the 6502 family of CPUs. Here are a few:
- 64tass
- 64tass is the preferred assembler and includes the option to generate .pgz binaries.
an example of a usage of the CLI parameters to compile a .pgz executable (a favored choice) would be inside a windows .bat file:
64tass -c --output-exec=start --c256-pgz "%1.asm" api.asm --mw65c02 -Wno-portable -o "%1.pgz (where %1 is replaced by your file's prefix, api.asm can be removed or replaced by any number of definition files)
- as6502
- as6502 is an older, more traditional Relocatable Macro Assembler. It's part of an entire suite of 8-bit assemblers which all use the same linker.
- merlin32
- Merlin32 is a modern version of the Merlin 8/16 Macro Assemblers. Familiar to many Apple II programmers of the day, it also completely supports 65816, and runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux.
