USING THE C3X ASSEMBLER ON THE PC

A standalone assembler source file is one that begins with assembler directives. An example of assembler directives are:

.start ".data",0x809C00 ;starting address for data
.start ".text",0x809900 ;starting address for text
.include "AICCOM31.ASM" ;AIC communication routines
.data
.text

If the source program contain these assembler directives, it needs to be compiled with the assembler program provided with the DSP board. The command to invoke the assembler is

and can be invoke at the DOS prompt or within the COMMAND window of the debugger. Invoking this command will produce an executable file for the C31 DSK with a .dsk extension. Files with this extension will only run on the debugger.
