AMX 68000 Target Guide

Creating an AMX ROM

The AMX ROM is created by using the AMX Configuration Generator to produce a

ROM Option Module which is then linked with the AMX Library to form an AMX ROM

image.

The Configuration Generator combines the information in your Target Parameter File

with the ROM Option Template file CJ532ROP.CT to produce an assembly language

ROM Option Module CJ532ROP.ASM.

You can use the AMX Configuration Builder to generate the ROM Option Module. Use

the AMX Configuration Manager to open your Target Parameter File. Make the ROM

Option Module selector the active selector. The ROM Option window will become

visible allowing you to view your ROM option parameters. To generate the ROM Option

Module, select Generate... from the File menu.

If you are unable to use the AMX Configuration Manager or are creating your ROM

Option Module from within a make file, you can use the stand alone version of the

Configuration Generator. If your Target Parameter File is named HDWCFG.UP, the stand

alone version of the Configuration Generator utility is invoked as follows:

CJ532CG HDWCFG.UP CJ532ROP.CT CJ532ROP.ASM

The ROM Option Module CJ532ROP.ASM is then assembled in exactly the same manner

as your Target Configuration Module HDWCFG.ASM according to the directions in the

AMX Tool Guides.

The AMX ROM is linked according to the directions in the AMX Tool Guides.

The resulting AMX ROM image file is then committed to ROM using conventional

ROM burning tools. The manner in which this is accomplished will depend completely

upon your development environment. In general, the process involves the transfer of the

AMX ROM hex file to a PROM programmer.

Note that your toolset may require a filename extension other than .ASM for assembly

language files.
