78K/II series relocatable

assembler (RA78K/II)

This relocatable assembler can be used for all the 78K/II series products.  Its macro

functions enhance efficiency in software development.  It also includes a struc-

tured assembler, which makes the program control structure more comprehensive,

thus improving software productivity and maintainability.  The relocatable assem-

bler consists of the following programs:

Structured assembler preprocessor

(program name:  ST78K2)

Relocatable assembler

(program name:  RA78K2)

Linker (program name:  LK78K2)

Object converter

(program name:  OC78K2)

Librarian (program name:  LB78K2)

List converter

(program name:  LCNV78K2)

Converts a source program written in the

structured assembler language into a

form that can be input into the

relocatable assembler.

Converts a source program written in

assembly language into a machine

language program, enabling the genera-

tion of a relocatable object module file.

Links an object module file, generated by

the relocatable assembler, with a library

file, to determine the absolute address of

the program and to generate a load

module file.

Converts a load module file, generated

by the linker, into a suitable form for

downloading to the in-circuit emulator

and PROM programmer.

Links object module files, generated by

the relocatable assembler, to create a

single library file.  It also updates the

library files.

Creates an assemble list from the

assemble list file output by the

relocatable assembler, using the object

and load module files.  The assemble list

contains absolute values.
