EHBASIC

[n9jcv]

So I am not sure I understand everything here. I want to get EHBASIC running on my new rp6502.

Is EHBASIC available in compiled/ROM form somewhere that I can just dowload and install?

Or do I have to install all the tools and build myself?
Thanks!

I uploaded a basic.zip file to the first builds thread. It’s old, but might still work.

@vruumllc Thank you very much it works great!!

This helps. I have to crawl, then walk and maybe run. At some point I need to get the dev tools on windows and start learning that stuff, thanks again!

I am just going to document the steps here for some one else that may be in my same place.

First download the basic zip file, from here

Then unzip that. It creates a basic folder. Put that on a flash drive. Then put the flash drive on the rp6502.

cd basic
install basic

Then anytime you want to run basic, just type basic
Enter program and run
Have Fun!

Good that you captured steps to load BASIC to ROM.
I linked your steps to the picocomputer community wiki.

Any small contribution I can make I am more than willing, others are doing the hard work!

Welcome to the community! Congratulations on getting your board up.

Attached is a zip containing an rp6502 rom-file along with a couple of demo files.

Info on contents (which is a fork ahead of the rp6502's EhBASIC) can be found here and here.

Hope this helps!
