I tried using dl.exe and the download appeared to work. However, the LED
still did not turn on. Is something wrong with my code? Perhaps the RAM is
not accessible at this point as the chip is in bootstrap mode?
Again here is the listing (with the added loop thanks to Fred):
ORG $8000
LDAA #$40
STAA $1000
LOOP BRA LOOP
ORG $FFFE
FDB $8000
Seems simple enough to me. I would think that resetting the board would
then light the LED. Again I can easily go over to IC and type:
poke(0x1000, 0x40);
and the light will come on as expected. I will greatly appreciate any
further feedback to get me on the right track.
Thanks,
Brian
