I haven't found any information on how to do this on this site, so I decided to do it myself.

http://kaput.homeunix.org/~thrashbarg/6502ss.jpg

This could easily be made into a small board and wired to the 6502 directly, as it only needs three pins, provided RDY is cut first (might be a bit tricky on a PCB).

Also, if you want to change the default state from whatever it is (stopped or running), disconnect the wire which goes between the 74LS00 B pin 4 to 74LS00 A pin 11 on the 74LS00 A side and attach it to 74LS00 A pin 8. Hope you understand that... The function of the RUN/STOP switch will be reversed too.

My web server's a tad dodgy (you can thank Bigpond for that) so it may not be available all the time.

Tell me what you think or if there are any problems!

Thrashbarg

Update: I've discovered a major bug with the design, it halts the 6502 AFTER the sync cycle, so you end up skipping an instruction on 1 byte commands or pointing to the first memory location on 2 or 3 byte commands. This is because SYNC goes high with phase-1 and there's a delay between the two on in the logic. I.e. The flip flop gets a clock cycle before the data is updated. I'll update the schematic if I find the solution.

Update: Got it working correctly now. I've updated the schematic. SYNC is run through the other half of the 74LS123 to give it a pulse, because it remians on during the halted period (I'm not using a MOS 6502, perhaps someone could test it on an original), and this causes the NAND flip flop to get confused. Also, rather than using another 74LS00 to debounce the RUN/STOP switch I attached it to the other half of the 74LS74, which brings the total chip count down to three. The RUN/STOP switch is synchronised with Phase-1 by the first half of the 74LS74, so there's no chance of RDY going low outside of the time specified by the datasheet.

That's an excellent debugger, but my idea is aimed towards someone who wants to wire it up on a bit of bread board quickly.

Sorry I didn't see it.

The heart of the debugger is _one_ IC: a 74LS76A. The rest is to make things more comfortable.

The MOS hardware manual for the 6502 contains the following circuit for static debugging.

Be carefull: it MUST be the A version. And IIRC, the 74LS112 could be a replacement. (no databooks at hand, the 109 also drifts in my mind)

I like that. If I ever make a larger scale 6502 I'll use it, thanks!

Woz put a circuit for single step/single instruction using a single 7474 into the Apple 1 manual. Here's a link to the manual.

http://www.brielcomputers.com/files/a1man.pdf

Page 12 is what you are looking for. Ignore the slow ROM circuit. It works fine with my replica 1.

Have you tried stepping memory write intensive code with the Woz circuit?

The MOS manual advices not stopping a write cycle and thier circuit will skip to the next non-write cycle when stepping. Were they being overly cautious?

I've mostly tried it with read cycles but I will try it with extensive writes to mem and see what the results are.

I've been playing around with trying to fit the single instruction/cycle logic on to a ATF16V8B PLD chip to be controlled by a PIC. (The cunning plan is to attach the PIC to the address bus, data bus and control lines so it can bootstrap the firmware into the SRAM before enabling the 6502 - It will then control the 65C02 and provide an RS-232 based debugger).

The CUPL looks like this
Code:
Name        Debugger;
PartNo      NONE;
Date        16/08/2006;
Revision    01;
Designer    Andrew Jacobs;
Company     NONE;
Assembly    None;
Location    NONE;
Device      G16V8;


pin 1           = clk;

pin 2           = sync;

pin 4           = run;
pin 5           = step;
pin 6           = cycle;
pin 7           = !rst;

pin 12          = rdy;
pin 13          = stop;
pin 19          = !oe;

pin [14..16]    = [q2..0];

field state = [q2..0];

$define S0      'b'000
$define S1      'b'001
$define S2      'b'010
$define S3      'b'011
$define S4      'b'100
$define S5      'b'101
$define S6      'b'110
$define S7      'b'111

rdy     =   state:[S1,S2,S3,S5];
stop    =   state:[S0,S4,S6];

sequenced state {
/* S0 - STOPPED - No execution, waiting for a command */
present S0
    if      run & !step & !cycle    next S1;
    if     !run &  step & !cycle    next S3;
    if     !run & !step &  cycle    next S5;
    default next S0;

/* S1 - RUNNING - Processor is enabled until the run input is release */
present S1
    if      rst                     next S0;
    if     !rst & !run              next S2;
    default next S1;

/* S2 - RUNNING - The run signal is released, stop at the next sync */
present S2
    if      rst # sync              next S0;
    default next S2;

/* S3 - STEPPING - Enable processor until next sync */
present S3
    if      rst                     next S0;
    if     !rst & sync              next S4;
    default next S3;

/* S4 - STEPPING - Wait for step to be released */
present S4
    if      rst # !step             next S0;
    default next S4;

/* S5 - CYCLING - Enable processor for one cycle */
present S5
    if      rst                     next S0;
    default next    S6;

/* S6 - CYCLING - Wait for cycle to be release */
present S6
    if      rst # !cycle            next S0;
    default next S6;

/* S7 - Unused, force a reset */
present S7
    next S0;
}

This generates the following signals:

When WDC deliver my order I can try it for real.

I think this would be a good candidate for the Hardware Mini-Projects section if you would like to do a small write-up and submit it.

Hello Thrashbarg,
Is the single-stepper circuit for single instruction or single cycle stepping ?

I'm not sure if it's right for me to revive such an old thread, however I have built this circuit to try and debug my own 65c02 breadboard and thought it might help others who stumble across it.

I found the circuit does work as per Thrashbarg's schematic except I had to add ground connections to pins 6 & 14 of the 74ls123, as recommended in it's datasheet. Also because it relies on sync it's a single-stepper not a single cycle, but the run/stop switch can halt the CPU in the middle of an instruction. A subsequent step pulse then loads the next instruction. I used 470pf caps on the 74ls123 as I didn't have 330pf ones handy and it seems to be fine.
