Programming novice with nil EE background (but lots of working experience with EE's and Programmers in the past) looking for assistance for eprom encoding after 2500AD cross assembling code. In the past we had used older 8088 computers with eprom burners - but those boxes are no longer working...now using another legacy system eprom burner and that's where most of my experience ends - need help with converting .obj files to Intel HEX code, and start address, etc.

First: welcome!

Second: If you have the assembler sources (*.asm), you should be able to generate *.hex with your assembler. Either there are settings to do this or you need to add a line (at the beginning) to the asm source, something like " OPT HEX " (starting with a space or tab). Their are probably other OPTion settings like LIS, TTL...

Third: I have no idea whether it is possible to convert your .obj files to .hex.

Fo(u)rth: Good Luck

Welcome!

The 2500AD assembler uses a linker to convert the .OBJ file to .HEX. When I used it in the late 1980's, it was another man I was working with who got the linker going (after some calls to 2500AD, a process which was not without some consternation), and I just used his batch file directly and later as a template to make minor mods to. It went like this:

where "<directory>" gets replaced with wherever you have the 2500AD software. Our "M.ASM" source code and output files were in the same directory where this batch file was.
