Hi
Like everyone else, who are venturing into MC coding on the EP128, I use the SAMPLE.ASM programming example to get started. In my case I look at each line of the program and analyze its purpose to get a feeling for how it works.
There is a section that sets up pages for a reset. It goes like this... (comments as I understand the process)
LD C,40H ; This triggers deallocation of all user RAM during the EXOS Reset (RESET=0)
EXOS RESET ; Afterwards only PAGE0 is defined by the system and pointing to the lowest RAM segment (0F8H on my EP128)
LD A,1 ; So we initialize Page3 (port 0B3H) to point to segment 1 (ROM segment)
OUT (0B3H),A
Then comes the question...
LD A,6
JP 0C00DH
The comments in the program refer to the 6 function=Enterprise logo screen and make a call to a (fixed) address in the ROM in Page 3. Offset 0DH from the start address of memory mapped to Z80 space 0C00H-0FFFFH (Page3)
... Where can I find documentation that tells me I need to jump to this specific address with this particular value. Any help is appreciated, please.
I have the English version of the Kernal Specification 2.1, but I have no manuals or articles discussing ROMS and their layout. If such documentation exist in English, it is preferable. If it exists in Hungarian... well, Google Translate will point me in the right direction though it obviously has issues and translates word into English words, where you need a little bit of vertical thinking to decode the actual meaning.
regards
Jesper
