1 1. Getting Started COSMAC VIP (Video Interface Processor) CDP18S711 is a complete computer on a single printed-circuit card . It includes the following: *RCA CDP18 02 Microprocessor (91 in struction.
6 CHIP-8 incl udes a real tim e clock, rand om number generator, decimal conversion, an d digit or graphic display capab ility. It only uses 51 2 bytes of RAM leaving over 102 4 bytes for p rograms in a 2048-byte system . (You can get an additional 2048 bytes of RAM by plugging f our more R AM chips i nto your card .
After completing the above set- u p procedure, you are ready to enter and ru n programs on your COSMAC VIP. The COSMAC VIP operating system , explained in the next section, permits y ou to load programs into mem ory from the hex key board, ve rify them, an d record them on cassettes for later reuse.
11. COSMAC VIP Operation COSMAC VIP is operated with the RUN switch and hex keyboar d. The PWR light sho ws that powe r is on. The Q light is activated by various programs. A tone is sounded when ever the Q light is on. The TAPE light glows when cassette input d ata is present.
10 contained in t he last 256-byt e page of the on-card RAM. If you have a 2048- byte RAM, you are seeing locations 0700-7FF on the screen. Bit 7 of th e byte at 0700 is in the upper left comer. Try st oring a sequence of eight AA bytes followed by eight 55 bytes starting at location 0700.
After record ing and checking a progr am cassette, you can break out the tabs at the top of the cassette to prevent accidental erasure. In the even t you wish to record on a cassette after you have broken ou t the tabs, you can do so simply by pasting tape ov er the tab holes.
III. CHIP-8 Language Programming CHIP-8 is an easy-t o-learn programm ing language that lets you write your own progr ams. To use the CHIP-8 languag e, you m ust first sto re the 512-byte CHIP-8 languag e pro gram at mem ory locations 0000 t o 01FF.
14 Table I - CHIP-8 Instructions RCA COSMAC VIP Instruction Manual Instruction Operation 1MMM Go to 0MMM BMMM Go to 0MMM + V0 2MMM Do subroutine at 0MMM (must end with 00EE) 00EE Return from subroutine 3XKK Skip next instruction if VX = KK 4XKK Skip next instruction if VX n.
When a pattern is d isplayed, it is compared with any pattern already on the screen. If a 1 bit in your ,p attern matches a I bit already on the scree n, then a 0 bit will b e shown at this spot position an d VF will be set 1,6 it value of 01. You can test VF following a DXTN instruction to determine if your pattern III.
16 RCA COSMAC VIP Instruction Manual touched any part of a previousl y displaye d pattern . This feature perm its program ming vide o games which req uire knowing if one movin g pattern t ouches or hits an other pattern.
111. CHIP-8 Language Programming 17 lose the CHIP-8 interpreter and will ha ve to reload it. You can insert stoppi ng points in your pr ogram for debugging p urposes. S uppose you wa nt to stop and examine variables when your program reaches the instruction at 0260.
18 25. PROGRAMMED SP OT - Introduce children to programming concepts by lettin g them preprogram the movem ents of a spot or object on the screen. RCA COSMAC VIP Instruction Manual The next section will discuss machine language programmi ng. You can e ven combine machine language subroutines with CHIP-8 programs if desired.
19 IV. Machine Language Programming VIP Machine Coding For a complete description of machine language instructions, refer to the User Manual for the CDP1802 COSMAC Microprocessor MPM201A .
20 The CHIP-8 language desc ribed in t he previous section, permits machine language subroutines to be called with a 0MMM instruction. A D4 machine language instruction at the end of t he machine language subroutine returns control to the CHIP-8 instruction following the 0MMM instru ction.
21 V. Logic Description A comple te set of logic diagrams is provided in Appendix E. Pow er requi rement s for a system with 2048 bytes of RAM is 5 V DC at 350 mA. If you wish to expand the sy stem you can use your ow n higher curre nt power sup ply. This system is designed arou nd the CDP18 02 microprocessor Wfl.
pressed. A 62 machine inst ruction causes the least significant 4 bit s of mem ory byte to be latched i nto U13. These 4 bits are decode d to bring one of the 16 U13 output lines lo w. If the key that corresponds to this output line is pr essed, th e CDPI802 EF3 input will go low.
V1. Expansion Considerations and Connections The COSMAC VIP was design ed primarily as a self-contained graphic system for home use. Enough RAM and input /output feat ures are provi ded for years of computer fu n without adding a nything to your system .
24 A single photocel l input could be pr ovided via the buffered EF 4 line. Yo u can attach the photocell directly between t he L and Z pads . Experim entally adjust the pull-up resi stor on pad L for best operation. No photocell amplifier should be required to drive the COS/MOS input.
I Pin Signal Description Negative-going memory-write pulse Early timing pulse for M address clocking, etc. Memory address lines. High-order address byte appears on these lines during TPA time.
26 Some possibl e applications for expanded systems include: 1. Count ing packages, parts, cars, o r people via 9. photocell or switch i nput. 2. Composing poetry or pictures wi th printer out put. 3. Video t arget gam es using ph otocell light gun. 4.
VIL Troubleshooting Hints This section is ai med at hel ping you diagnose and fi x hardware problems should t hey occur. First, check all IC's to make sure they are prop erly inserted in the PC card. An IC inserted in the wrong direction can be permanently dam aged.
28 up with key C down. With RUN up, check bus and address lines to see if any look different from the others. They will, of course, be at different leve ls or bouncing around but y ou might spot som ething suspici ous that would indicate a short or op en for one of these lines.
29 Appendix A - Test and Operating Data Byte Pattern for Displaying "COSMAC" The followin g figure s hows how the word "COSM AC" would be formed by spots (o r bits) on th e display screen. The following bytes when loaded into memory will cause the word "COSMAC" to be shown on the display i n a 2048-byt e RAM syst em.
30 Cassette Attachment Diagram RCA COSMAC VIP Instruction Manual Cassette Phase Test For best results your cassette record er should not reverse the phas e of an inp ut signal on playback. When playing bac k a tape rec orded on an other recorde r, it should not reverse the phase of the outp ut signal.
