Hardware pin on an A500 to toggle via assembly
« on: January 03, 2014, 07:58:23 PM »
I'm doing some troubleshooting for the replacement A501 card I'm designing and I could use some help.

http://techtravels.org for details on the project(s)

I could really use a hardware pin(or two) to toggle through assembly, and it's not immediately clear to me what's available that would be both easy to call from assembly AND not be disruptive to normal OS processes.

The idea here is that I have some VERY rudimentary memory tests implemented in assembly, and I'd like to trigger my logic analyzer on error or success.

Maybe a pin from the parallel port?

Ideally, there won't be any complicated chip-setup procedure, os libraries to load, or anything.

If I could just add/mov a 1 or a 0 into an address, that would be perfect.

Thanks
kamiga

Thanks for the replies.

Yes, I'll give the RTC method a try.  So far, everything is passing, and so there's no errors to catch. :)
