Been a while since I've been here, Evo long sold but never forgotten. Hope you're all well and happy.

Thought I would post a few comments and screenshots linking to a few hours playing with setting up HEW for SH2 as another group I am in had written some assembly and didn't seem to know how to build it, yet had an interesting sounding project for the Evo 9.

Back in the day I used KPIT Cummins GNU tools, and tend to prefer command line, but now it seems to be HEW with an IDE that is the free tool.

Don't PM me as I don't visit the forum often.

Follow the pictures in order to see the setup steps I used to get C to compile and then load up in IDA.

Feel free to mangle, use, criticise and enjoy as you wish. No warranty deserved, use at your own risk, blah blah.

Second post to follow to show how to get asm to assemble.

 

How to build assembly language and fix linker errors, define section. The code is relocatable until linked, so arbitrary 0 for address is OK if you are patching code from obj or other files.

-noprelink -nomessage -list="$(CONFIGDIR)\$(PROJECTNAME).map" -nooptimize -start=P/00 -nologo -output="$(CONFIGDIR)\$(PROJECTNAME).abs" -end -input="$(CONFIGDIR)\$(PROJECTNAME).abs" -form=stype -output="$(CONFIGDIR)\$(PROJECTNAME).mot" -exit

This goes into the highlighted box in 13.jpg.

 

Good to see you back if only for a fleeting time. Will check this out, hopefully it'll make sense now I have a little more coding experience.

 

Very interesting. Writing assembly has a steep learning curve for a higher level language developers like me, so this should help. Hopefully it also encourages some others to get into disassembly and pick up where you left off.
