Multi-boot Multicomp (Part 3)

A project log for 3-Chip Z80 Design

Combining a Z80 retro design with a modern PSoC CPU.

In the last log we got the Multi-boot monitor to run however, when BASIC was run it hung.

The Z80 is trying to access I/O address 0x39 which isn't implemented yet. That's the swap back to the original BIOS code. Since it was never swapped out it can be swapped right back in with an ackIO( ).

After adding back in the BIOS, BASIC now works as launched from Multi-boot with the S5 command.

Cold or Warm?

Added in code that when the 0x39 (swapped back) is received then goes and causes a BUSREQ*, waits for a BUSACK* and copies the BIOS back into SRAM.

Back to Debugging CP/M

The CP/M code is in and the BIOS code looks like this:

; Disable the ROM, pop the boot disk and IOBYTE from the stack 
; (supplied by monitor), then start the OS
;    org 0FFB0h
popAndRun:
    ld A,01h 
    out (38h),A        ; kick ROM

    pop AF            ; Monitor gives physical boot volume
    ld (mnttab),A        ; ignore 8 bit volume number

    pop AF            ; Monitor gives the IOBYTE ...
    ld (IOBYTE),A


    ld HL,mnttab
    ld (0FFFEh),HL        ; put mounttab vector in FFFE
    ld HL,backdoor
    ld (0FFFCh),HL        ; put backdoor vector above that
    ld A,0C3h
    ld (0FFFBh),A        ; and a JP opcode above that
    ld C,0
    jp BIOS

S2 also works.
