MC6809 0.7.0rc0

MC6809 CPU emulator written in Python

MC6809 is a Open source (GPL v3 or later) emulator for the legendary 6809 CPU, used old homecomputer Dragon 32/64 and Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer (CoCo) built in the 1980s...

Tested with Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 and PyPy3

A example usage can be find in: MC6809/example6809.py

Getting started:

~$ git clone https://github.com/6809/MC6809.git
~$ cd MC6809
~/MC6809 $ ./cli.py --help

You can use the devshell as a CLI, too, e.g.: There is a simple benchmark. Run e.g.:

~/MC6809$ ./devshell.py benchmark --help

+ /home/jens/repos/MC6809/.venv/bin/python /home/jens/repos/MC6809/.venv/bin/devshell benchmark --help

Usage: profile [-h] [--loops LOOPS] [--multiply MULTIPLY]

Run a MC6809 emulation benchmark

optional arguments:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  --loops LOOPS        How many benchmark loops should be run? (default: 6)
  --multiply MULTIPLY  Test data multiplier (default: 15)

tests

~/MC6809$ ./devshell.py pytest

profile

You can run the Python profiler against the benchmark, e.g.:

~/MC6809$ ./devshell.py profile --help

+ /home/jens/repos/MC6809/.venv/bin/python /home/jens/repos/MC6809/.venv/bin/devshell profile --help

Usage: profile [-h] [--loops LOOPS] [--multiply MULTIPLY]

Run a MC6809 emulation benchmark

optional arguments:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  --loops LOOPS        How many benchmark loops should be run? (default: 6)
  --multiply MULTIPLY  Test data multiplier (default: 15)

TODO

• Update 'cpu6809_html_debug.py'
• Use bottle for http control server part
• unimplemented OPs:
  • RESET
  • SWI / SWI2 / SWI3
  • SYNC
