Has anyone done this before? Building a compiled program, loading it byte by byte into memory, and then doing Run UUT? I was playing around with this last night, but I couldn't get it to work. (6809E based system). Could be lots of things at this point, and I'm going to review the Troubleshooter documentation, but I thought I'd ask. Talk of testing RAMs made me think to try a few tests to see how easy it would be to build a "fast RAM" tester. I just took a snippet of code from the Qix self-test and wanted to run a modified version of that. However, even a simple test where I'm writing to a specific address did not seem to work. Been a looong time since I wrote assembly, and I've never had to bother looking at the generated op codes! The code was relocatable code.
 
On a related note, it appears that it's possible to write some z80 code that could be executed by the 9010A base unit. You can't use the Fluke compiler, however, because you'd need to have a slightly different record structure for the program. This is part of the reason that I was asking about interest level in a new compiler. That, and the fact that there are gaps in the programming language that might be easy to fill.
