Does anyone know of a public domain 68000 assembler that uses Motorola standard syntax? A friend and I are building a homebrew 68000 system and need something for assembling boot EPROM code and the output from the Small-C compiler. Currently I'm using my 3B1's native (UNIX) assembler and linker, but that's proving to be a pain (non-standard assembler syntax and the linker is overkill for this project). I don't know anything about the facilities provided by Motorola's development systems. What I *need* right now is an assembler that generates (if necessary) position-dependent code (these are boot EPROMs, remember). If it doesn't have a seperate linking step, that's fine right at the moment. Eventually I'm going to need to be able to link together multiple object files though. The other goal is to be able to install this assembler on the running target system. (My friend is the EE and has the hardware, but I have the cross-development system, and we're about 200 miles apart right at the moment...) I wrote a quick utility to encode the EPROM binaries into Motorola Hex format for the EPROM programmer, should anyone be interested in that. Does anyone have any ideas where I could find something like this? Is anyone else homebrewing?
