Collection of noob issues

Post by puromtec »

Here are some noob questions I have at this point.

1. I think that I want to create a TI-83Plus Application. How do you make Latenite build for an application. I have read the "TI Applications" tutorial here http://benryves.com/bin/brass/ and also how it is not compatible with the default latenight project options here: http://www.junemann.nl/maxcoderz/viewto ... age#p52833 I have edited my second line to become: .inclabels "Includes\ti8x.lbl" Also, I have set the build file to be program.asm, instead of headers.asm. However, I get this error message in the Latenite output window:

Code: Select all

------ Building: Source File: Program.asm, Script: TI-83 Plus (Native).cmd ------
Brass Z80 Assembler 1.0.4.1 - Ben Ryves 2005-2006
-------------------------------------------------
Assembling...
Pass 1 complete. (494ms).
Pass 2 complete. (36ms).
Writing output file...
Signing application...
Errors: 0, Warnings: 0.
Could Not Find C:\Users\me\Documents\TI Work\Latenite Projects\Test Maker\TESTMKR\Bin\*.inc
------ Build Process Complete ------
Writing error log...
========== Build: 0 errors, 0 warnings ==========
Writing debug log...
Writing list file...
Done!
What should be done to deal with the "Could Not Find C:\..." message?

2. If I do not use the Headers.asm as is, should I rewrite it to support applications? If so, how?

3. Is the latest available Latenite software the one here? http://www.junemann.nl/maxcoderz/viewto ... &start=420
or http://benryves.com/bin/latenite/Latenite.exe?

Thanks

I would strongly advise against using Brass and/or Latenite as they are both very old, rather broken and not updated (I'm not sure where your errors are coming from, sorry). :(

RevSoft host newer tools, including a more up-to-date assembler (Spasm), IDE (Wabbitcode) and emulator (WabbitEmu). Those are what I'd probably recommend these days.

If you must use it, Brass 3 is my "updated" Brass, though it's a completely different project to Brass and is not Latenite-compatible. It will install a folder of samples; see the "TI Calculator Application" sample for applications. (It is, however, a long time since I've worked on that too). :(

Ahh... my question should have been: HOW should I be building assembly apps for the TI calculators. Starting fresh in this venture started at the TI official website, then lead to various other methods with half-baked (old and forgotten) tutorials and finally your suggestion is to use this revsoft software. Wheww.. finally done, I hope.

Don't need it (i guess), just targeting TI-83Plus calculator.

Thanks for your help.
