MEGA65 Welcome Guide
• It’s ugly, but it works!
BIT:
• Sends a .BIT bitstream file, and resets using this file as the core.
• Note that this takes the .BIT file, not the .COR file. Most cores provide files in both formats.
• This does not install the core in a slot, it just runs the core for the current session.
HIC:
• Sends a “Hickup” file, which temporarily updates the Hypervisor.
• Only useful for developers working on the system software.
ROM:
• Sends a MEGA65 ROM and resets with it in memory.
BAS:
• Sends a text file as if it is being typed into the MEGA65, such as a BASIC program listing.
• This capability is limited to a subset of the PETSCII character set. It conflates ASCII letter casing and does not
support special characters.
Tip: If you’re developing a BASIC program on your PC to send to the MEGA65 over the JTAG connection for testing,
you might prefer converting it to a PRG and sending the PRG instead of trying to send the BASIC program listing. See
“The m65 command line tool” below for an example workflow.
