Hello everybody,

I try to program the RCX at low level. I want to be able to program
using the Hitachi h8/3292 directly. For example, I want to use the
free-running timer, define own interrupt handlers and so on. In fact, I
*really* need to control the timer (this is for educational purpose).

My tries so far leads to failures... I tried using Quite C and libRCX,
but I think I have to shortcut some ROM routines (particularly the
init_timer routine).

Can anyone give me a tip about controlling Hitachi free-running timer
directly ? Thanks.

Having said that, if you know the address of the timer, you can (...) (21 years ago, 12-Sep-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) If you're really hard-core, you could program it in assembly language. I believe the official SDK lists all the operations. Get it (URL) here> if you don't already have it. (21 years ago, 12-Sep-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, FTX)
