getting started in amiga assembly
« on: July 03, 2009, 10:06:07 PM »
I'd like to get into writing some amiga assembly for OS 3.x and older.  I'd prefer to code right on the amiga, unless there are really compelling reasons not to.  I have an 68030-upgraded A500 w/ harddrive and 2+1 megs of ram.

What books should I be looking at?  I'm currently reading "Microprocessor Systems Design: 68000 Hardware, Software, and Interfacing." by Clements (ISBN 0871500957)  Fantastic book for learning the 68k.  I also have Abacus's "Amiga Machine Language." And all the RKMs. I heard someone else mention "Amiga Systems Programming." Any good?

What's the best assembler?  Best documented? Is CygnusEd still a nice editor for code?

Example assembly programs?  Resources? How to call the OS functions?

I'd be pretty happy to get some very basic "hello world" type assembly source, get it assembled, and executed.

Thanks for any help
