PDP-11 Boot Software
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
The project contains the following PDP-11 boot code:
|
|
|
|
* [PDP-11 Boot Monitor](monitor/)
|
|
* [DEC PDP-11 Bootstrap Loader](bootstrap/)
|
|
|
|
Boot code can be pre-loaded into any machine by including a `<ram>` component in the machine XML configuration file
|
|
with the *file* attribute set to the filename of the image, along with optional *load* and *exec* addresses; eg:
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<ram id="ram" addr="0x0000" size="0x4000" file="/apps/pdp11/boot/bootstrap/BOOTSTRAP-16KB.json" load="0x3FE4" exec="0x3FE4"/>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If no *load* address is specified, the `<ram>` component relies on the "load" property of the JSON-encoded RAM image;
|
|
otherwise, the starting RAM address is used. If no *exec* address is specified, the CPU will begin execution at its usual
|
|
reset address.
