Dummy boot block

The noboot code simply prints the message

++======================================++
|| This is not a hardware bootable disk ||
++======================================++

CPU WILL HALT

and halts the CPU. The entry point is 0 and can therefore be started with a clr pc as is done on boot PROMs. Code like this is used as a dummy boot block in non-bootable disk volumes. The lda file is also useful in PC11 loader tests.

Start on w11

See general notes on

• FPGA Board setup
• Rlink and Backend Server setup

To run the noboot code use

    ti_w11 <opt> -w -e noboot.mac

with the options <opt> as described in Rlink and Backend Server setup.
