Hey! I've been playing around with easy68k and its pretty cool, but I would like to trying programming on it with c. I've compiled m68k-gcc-elf and I've written this code:

Code:

int main(){
   char *text="Hello World!";
   asm volatile("LEA %0,%%A1\n"
         "MOVE.B #14,%%D0\n"
         "TRAP #15\n"
         "MOVE.B #9,%%D0\n"
         "TRAP #15\n"
         :/*no outputs */
         :"m"(text)
         :"%d0","%a1"
         );
   return 0;
}

I compiled it using

Code:

m68k-elf-gcc test.c -o test.elf -ffreestanding -nostdlib -m68000
m68k-elf-objcopy -O binary test.elf test.bin

I then used Easybin to convert the .bin file to a .s68. When I got to run the code in the simulator I get this error:

Code:

Address Error: Instruction at 4 accessing address fffffb

Has anyone ever got gcc working with easy68k? or does anyone have any idea on how I could get it to work?

Try moving the string declaration to the bottom. Move the code away from address 0, try $1000, before you create the .S68 file. The address at zero up to $400 or so should not be used to run program code.

Code:

int main(){
   asm volatile("LEA %0,%%A1\n"
         "MOVE.B #14,%%D0\n"
         "TRAP #15\n"
         "MOVE.B #9,%%D0\n"
         "TRAP #15\n"
         :/*no outputs */
         :"m"(text)
         :"%d0","%a1"
         );
   return 0;
   char *text="Hello World!";
}

When I change the start address to be $1000 in easybin the program runs without giving an error, it just doesn't print anything to the screen. Also moving the string declaration to the bottom doesn't work as it is being declared after it needs to be used.

Here is a working example written in Assembly.

Thanks for the example, I was using the code from here to create the foundation of my program. I think the problem lies with not having a correct linker script for the compiler, but I do not know enough about that to solve my issue.

In case anybody is interested:
Recently I have cross-compiled with an uClinux-toolchain on Ubuntu-Linux (Virtualbox) the "hello world" and executed successfully in Easy68k.
This was one step to be inserted before porting the (very old) stand-alone Motorola FBUG-monitor which I am taking up now again.

Ultimately I am intending to bring up a piece of the Linux-kernel as proof of concept - not quite sure whether I will succeed. Is a long road to go.
