This folder contains the Pat80 Operating System. It is a System Monitor that makes available also some system API to access hardware (monitor, sound, keyboard, parallel terminal...).

Build

Requirements

z80asm minipro (if you want to write to an EEPROM)

Make

The os can be built issuing command make build. Two files will be generated:

rom.bin is the rom file to be flashed on the eeprom
abi-generated.asm is the file to be included in any Pat80 application to access system APIs (see README.md in ../applications/)

The os can be written to an EEPROM with a minipro-compatible programmer issuing command make write. This runs the build and then tries to write the rom to a MiniPRO.

The os can otherwise be runned in the emulator issuing command make run. This requires to have the emulator executable already built (follow the instructions on pat80-emulator/README.md to build it).
