OK, I decided to put on hold my project of getting EhBASIC running on an LCD screen.

The good news is that my LCD screen still works as a "secondary" display and I built a simple 65C51 board and now I have serial working.

I know the 65C51 is a bad word around here. But it's all I had/have at the moment. I don't plan on sticking with it long term.

Anyway, I have it working and now I can enter BASIC programs. However, I have to press the ENTER key twice on everything.

For example, if I type "LIST" and press ENTER, I get a new line and that's all. Pressing it a second time actually executes the LIST.

Also, I have the following test program:

Code:
10 FOR A=1 to 10
20 PRINT A
30 NEXT A


This works. BUT...I have to press ENTER each iteration of A! It's like I have to "ENTER" each line of BASIC before it works as it's running.

Here is what I have running so far...any pointers is more than appreciated.

Your GetKey routine stalls until it gets a character. As was mentioned earlier in another thread, this is not going to make EhBASIC very happy.

TRy something like this:
Code:
RDCHR   lda ACIA_SR      ; Read the ACAI status to
         and #$08         ; Check if there is character in the receiver
         beq NOCHAR      ; Exit now if we don't get one.
         lda RXDATA      ; Load it into the accumulator
       sec            ; Set Carry to show we got a character
       rts            ; Return
NOCHAR
       clc            ; Clear Carry (no char)
       rts


This will replace both your getkey and you ACIAin routines.

As noted... you need a character get routine that doesn't wait for a key to be pressed. Which 65C51 are you using?? If you have an older 6551/65C51 (sans the latest WDC version), you can get a copy of my 6551/6522 BIOS which will give you a clean set of interrupt-driven I/O routines which work fine with EhBasic, if you would like to try them.

That worked!! And it makes sense now. I guess I didn't (and perhaps still don't) totally understand how EhBASIC is wired into things.

Thanks again!

I think I'm using the "bad" one. W65C51N6TPG-14 (A6A749-1).

Yes, I'd love to take a look at your BIOS and study how it works. I've never taken on a 6502 project this large before so knowing how these pieces all fit together would really help.

Thanks again guys for the help.

Sure.... attached a source file that contains the Monitor and BIOS. BIOS supports any working 65C51 for interrupt-driven and buffered I/O using a pair of 128-byte circular buffers. It also supports a 65C22 VIA with timer1 used for a RTC and timer2 used for accurate delays, plus basic port I/O. The monitor contains a host of useful commands plus a 65C02 disassembler and will invoke the EhBasic based on the source file I appended to your previous thread. Just change your I/O address locations, Timer counter values (based on the CPU clock rate chart contained in the source) and you'll have a working system that can be used as a test to ensure your hardware is working as it should. Good luck... any questions on the source code, just ask.

Note that the BIOS starts on line 2336 and is quite small overall.



Oops... my bad! Forgot to add one line of code to the Monitor... EhBasic won't launch from the Monitor without it. It's a ".DW MSG_2F" directive for the message that announces EhBasic (line 2185). Updated version replaced the old one... sorry 'bout that.
