[net.micro] Looking for 8048 cross assembler

aptr@ur-tut.UUCP (The Wumpus) (08/05/86)

I am looking for a cross assembler to generate code for an 8048.  I
would like a program that runs on a PC compatible.

For those who are wondering what an 8048 is, it is a "microcontroller"
made by Intel.  It is an 8 bit processor that implements a subset of
the 8080 instruction set.  It is designed for low end control
applications and can have up to 4k of internal ROM, RAM or EPROM.

Thanks for the help,

I looked into getting a 8048 assembler a few months back. I found one
from Avocet for $295 and decided that was too much to spend for my
limited application so I wrote my own using Turbo Pascal. I started
writing the program for the IBM PC, but during the course of developing
it I moved over to a CP/M machine (also with Turbo Pascal). You are
welcome to have to a copy of the source code, however fair warning, it's
not extremely robust, and is somewhat slow, but it does work. It may
require slight modification to use on the IBM PC. When I transfered it
over to the CP/M machine I had to rewrite a hash function to get it to
work properly (had something to do with the precision of division on the
2 versions of Turbo Pascal).
