VICE debug interface
i want to add some simple mechanisms to VICE that will help with automatic regression testing (there are over 800 test programs now, running them all manually takes several hours) - this stuff might be interesting for coders writing c64 software as well, so before i start i am looking for some more ideas on what might be useful.... the whole thing would be implemented as either a cartridge or some special i/o device, so basically everything should be triggered by writing to certain registers. the minimal functionality i came up with looks like:
- exit vice with exit code (to signal the test suite success or error)
- print a string to console (with some kind of "printf" like functionality, so you can print contents of registers/memory easily)
what else may be useful? |

something like that existed for PDS at least... i have heard of other inhouse solutions too (but never saw one myself) |

I saw an in house "solution". It used a bunch of TTL IC and had to be combined with a freezer cartridge (maybe AR?). You could set up an address and it triggered freeze when it was hit. |
