Tips&tricks for Z180 and zilog C compiler |
|
|
Hi all,
since this processor is not the best seller today, I am having a hard
time with finding reources for it.
I need books, programmers guides, programmers references, Tips&tricks,
FAQ etc.
Please let me know of where I can get such books and information or if
you have something to offer.

It's instruction set is very similar to the Z80 but it has some
enhancements. I've been writing code for it for the last year
based upon my 15+ year old knowledge of the Z80. I only
need to check the books for Z180 specifics such as the
MMU on-board peripherals.
Note there are a few versions of this chip: Google this NG
for a post from me on this subject about 3 months ago.
The Zilog website has some (but not a lot) of info. but I
imagine you have already checked there?
My usual reference for the Z80 is:

As Mike already pointed out, the Z180 instruction set is a superset of
that of the Z80. There is a lot of non hardware specific Z80 code
that will run unchanged on the Z180.
In addition to the book Mike recommended, which I remember from about
a quarter century ago as quite good, check out http://z80.info/ for a
lot of Z80 information, even if not Z180 specific.

For an introduction to the internals of the Z80 (predecessor of the Z180),
try to find a used copy of "Programming the Z80" by Rodnay Zaks. That is
the book from which I learned programming the Z80 more than 20 years ago
and I highly recommend it. You should be able to find the book online via
amazon.com, abebooks.com or other used book dealers.
On his website, Jack Ganssle (who writes for ESP) has two articles on the
Z180 which you may find useful: http://www.ganssle.com/articles.htm

You're quite correct - it was a _lot_ more than 15 years ago!
I recall buying a Sinclair ZX81 (kit form and I built my own PSU)
in (I think) 1979 and it was on this machine with the help of
another Z80 book that I learned to programme. God! But we're
getting old! :)

Arrrrgg !! Through the mists of time in the cobwebs of my brain,
I remember that book. Still have a couple of the little Timex Sinclair
computers downstairs in a box as well as some of my old CP/M
stuff (I think it is close to my collection of 33-1/3 records). Still
have a couple of 8" DSDD floppy drives too (and some disks).Yes,
we are indeed getting old !!
