I know of someone that wants to use an AMIGA for developement of
68000 'C' and assembler code for a standalone embedded controller
application. The question is: What software is available to produce
ROM-able code on the AMIGA? Do I just need a special linker or what?
I have access to a VAX system so a cross compiler may be of help
as well. Anyone got any answers?

You want to get a copy of the program "unhunk" on one of the early Fish disks (in the 20's or 30's, I think). Unhunk takes an AmigaDOS load file (produced by both the Lattice and Manx linkers) and produces a Unix-like executable with the relative addresses present in the AmigaDOS load file mapped into absolute addresses. You can specify the absolute addresses that you want each of the code, data, and bss sections to be mapped to. For example, I build new Kickstart images for my 1000 with the command: unhunk -t 0xfc0000 -b 0x200 harmony.lnk harmony.abs The "-t 0xfc0000" specifies that I want the text section to begin at address 0xfc0000, and the -b 0x200 specifies that the bss section begins at address 0x200. (By default, the data follows the text.) The file "harmony.lnk" is the AmigaDOS load file produced after compiling and linking all the components of the operating system I'm working with. Unhunk places its output in "harmony.abs", which is ROM-able code which I then write onto a Kickstart disk, but it could be downloaded into a target or burned into ROM or whatever, with the appropriate application and hardware facilities. Note that I have directed followups to .tech. -- Jeff Kelley National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa uunet!watmath!watcgl!jvkelley tel: (613) 990-5924
