Hi all,
I am targeting a Z80 based system, the sound board of an arcade game. The
memory map has a 2kB RAM chip at $C000~$C7FF. I have little experience with
setting up linkers and Chat GPT is not really helping. The little code I
have written is here
<https://github.com/jotego/jtcores/tree/flstory-894/cores/flstory/custom>.
I need to use a separate crt0.s start up code in order to set up the stack
pointer:
.module crt0
> .area _HEADER (ABS)
> .org 0x0000 ; Reset vector at 0x0000
> jp _start ; Jump to main program
>
> .area _CODE
> .globl _main
> _start:
> ld sp, #0xC800 ; Set stack pointer at top of RAM (grows downward)
> jp _main
>
That gets executed first indeed. But the main function gets mapped quite
low in the address space, at $20 regardless of my request to start at $100
sdcc -mz80* --code-loc 0x0100 *--data-loc 0xC000 -c custom.c
If I create any global variable in the C file, it gets placed in the ROM
area, not in the RAM, which I have stated in the argument list* --data-loc
0xC000*
I need to link the C file to the assembly code for the stack pointer. Maybe
the linker is getting it wrong there. I am giving this input file to the
linker
MEMORY {
> ROM (rx) : ORIGIN = 0x0000, LENGTH = 0x4000
> RAM (rw) : ORIGIN = 0xC000, LENGTH = 0x0800
> }
>
> SECTIONS {
> .text : { *(.text) } > ROM
> .rodata : { *(.rodata) } > ROM
> .data : { *(.data) } > RAM
> .bss : { *(.bss) } > RAM
> }

Where data is said again to be placed above $C000. But this gets ignored
without any warnings.
I have no idea what sdcc expects from the input besides this. Any help will
be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jose Tejada, aka JOTEGO
