2| lowram.s -- create a GEMDOS compatible basepage for the Buchla 700
3| Version 10 -- 1988-03-28 -- D.N. Lynx Crowe
4| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5| Provides a GEMDOS compatible basepage and calls start_ to
6| get things rolling for applications on the Buchla 700.
7
8| Also sets the stack pointer to the high end of RAM.
9
10| WARNING: This code ONLY works for programs loaded into RAM.
11| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12| We expect the following to be the relative layout of memory:
13
14| lowram load address (this chunk of code)
15| ...
16| p_lowtpa start of 'TPA' / basepage address
17| ...
18| start_ first module (starts 'text' area)
19| ...
20| ... -text-
21| ...
22| _etext end of 'text' area + 1
23| basedat start of 'data' area (will usually be _etext)
24| ...
25| ... -data-
26| ...
27| _edata end of 'data' area + 1
28| basebss start of 'bss' area (will usually be _edata)
29| ...
30| ... -BSS-
31| ...
32| _end end of actual 'bss' area + 1
33| ...
34| ... -heap-
35| ...
36| HI_RAM-0x400 end of pseudo 'bss' area (cleared by fsmain.s)
37| ...
38| ... -stack margin-
39| ...
40| HI_RAM end of RAM + 1, initial stack address
41| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
42| The startup code in fsmain.s uses the bss length to know how much RAM
43| to clear. We give it HI_RAM-0x400-basebss, and put the stack at HI_RAM.
44| The startup code clears from p_bbase through p_bbase+p_blen-1, inclusive.
45| This keeps fsmain.s from wiping itself out when it zaps the bss area.
46
47| The startup code (start_) in fsmain.s is entered with the address of
48| the basepage passed as a long word parameter on the top of the stack.
