TASKING ASM 196 Assembler

Assembler: The assembler package consists of macro assembler, linker/locator, utilities and EDE our Windows based embedded development environment. The assembler translates IntelÆs MCS 96 microcontroller assembly language into relocatable object code. The assembler accepts Intel compatible assembler source programs and produces relocatable (.obj) object files. An absolute or executable load image is then obtained by using the linker/locator. It supports all members of IntelÆs MCS 96 microcontroller family and is compatible with high level and assembly level debuggers.
Linker/Locator: The linker/locator is an essential part of the software building process that enables you to configure the code to match your target environment. The linker/locator brings together all the necessary relocatable objects, including library modules, resolves external references and then locates the modules in memory according to your specification. Features include ROM/RAM segmentation, intermodule type checking, register overlaying, INST pin support to allow ROM/RAM overlap and incremental linking. The linker accepts object files in Intel OMF-96 for-mat and supports Intel compatible linker control files.
Utilities: The librarian lets you create a library, add object modules to a library, remove object files from a library and list the contents of a library. Make is a utility that auto-mates the task of building or reconstructing your application. It prevents errors by ensuring that applications can be accurately rebuilt and saves time by reassembling only modules that changed since the last build. Make can be invoked from the EDE by clicking on the Make button in the ribbon bar or from the command line. A format conversion utility allows you to create output files in Intel-hex format.
Third-Party Support includes inter-operability with emulators (such as Checkmate, ComAp, Huntsville, iSystems, Kontron, K&S, Lauterbach, Microtek, Microtime, Nohau, Orion Instruments, Signum Systems) and other tools (Inform FuzzyTECH96, ChipTools ChipView96, Intel ApBUILDER).
