Re: Books for beginners

Thanks for all the great advice!

Sounds like Eyes and Lichty is the way to go. Though I may work though Zaks as well. Having been a math major, the fact that Programming the 6502 is laid out like a textbook appeals to me. :D

Re: Books for beginners

... I don't know De Jong. ...
De Jong's book is pretty interesting. It's almost like two books in one. The first half is a KIM-1 centric intro to 6502 assembly. Since it's focus is a pretty basic group of machines the programming style is very "bare metal". The second half of the book is a series ...

Re: usb serial connect to 02sxb probs

Just a random thought... Those WDC boards use an FTDI chip for their serial over USB interface. I don't know a lot about windows... Maybe it needs a driver to work properly?

Good Luck!

Books for beginners

Howdy all,

Now that I have a reliable software environment, I need to buckle down and actually learn something about the 6502. I do better with physical books (I find the internet too distracting to use it for prolonged study.). To that end, I have copies of:

Re: Using the W65C134SXB in Linux [How To]

That's an excellent write-up; thanks for that.

One thing I think should be added to your documentation: I the official home of of EasySXB appears to be https://github.com/JoeDavisson/EasySXB/. (Various bits of evidence point to the JoeDavisson account being the same joe_7 who did all the commits ...

Re: Your first programming experience?

My dad got a PT Sol-20 in 1978. I mostly used it to play Lunar Lander. But, I did do a little basic programming on it. My first real programming experience was in 1983, when my school required all of it's students to own an Apple ii. My folks somehow scraped together enough money to get an Apple iie ...

Using the W65C134SXB in Linux [How To]

The WDC W65C134SXB is an affordable SBC based on the 65C02S processor. It's a very attractive package, but WDC's tool-chain is windows only. Luckily, it's not difficult to get it running under Linux. In this guide we'll go from plugging it into to running a simple Hello World type program. I'm using ...

Re: CC65 and the W65C134SXB

Thanks for the advice! I'll try telling ld65 not to use a memory map.

Once I get things figured out, I'll post a tutorial on using the 134 in Linux. Maybe it'll be useful to somebody.

I would definitely be interested in such a thing :)

Okie Dokie, I've got it working. One last question ...

CC65 and the W65C134SXB

Hi All! I'm just getting started with 6502 assembly. I spent plenty of time with the apple IIe and the c64 when I was a kid. But, beyond a few PEEKs and POKEs, I never did any assembly. I've worked as a sysadmin and programmer (though not recently) but my knowledge was always pretty high-level. Now ...
