Keith,

I have a reference for you.  It is "Microcomputer Engineering," 2nd ed. by Gene H.
Miller.  You can get it from one of the online book sellers, like amazon.com.  It
is around $85 or so.

In this text is the whole range of things having to do with assembly language
programming the HC11.  It's detailed and I find it readable.

I agree with you that there is not a lot having to do with programming of elements
deep within the HC11, but there is enough if you *really* dig.  I learned
everything I know, which admittedly isn't much, off the internet, in just a few
texts, and by studying other people's code as you do.  Someday, I may even
understand some of it!

I spent last weekend studying how to program the HB in assembly.

I do have the Motorola reference books on the 6811, and have no
  problem figuring out how to program the SCI, SPI, the various
  handshake modes, et. al., but figuring out how they relate to the
  various handy board (and especially expansion board) connectors is
  really tough.

Is there something I've missed that describes how to do low level
  programming on the handyboard?

Just about everything I've figured out how to do came from reading
  other people's code.

So I've spent some hours lately reading the code other people have
  written for the handyboard and the miniboard. And I really like
  Chuck's libraries.

BTW, if there's nothing out there that describes low-level programming
  on the handyboard, I'll probably write up my notes on what I've
  learned and make them available so future people don't have to go
  through what I'm going through.

The problem I have isn't programming the HC11. I picked that up with no problem by spending a day reading Motorola's reference manual (AKA the pink book - kindly provide free by Motorola via their web page). I've got a software background, and while (...) (25 years ago, 8-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
