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 structions) *2048-byte RA M *Built-in hex keyboard (modern reliable touchp ad type) *Graphic video displ ay interface (standa rd video output) *100-byte- per-s[...]

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 .) With the aid of th e User Manu[...]

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. 1. Getting Started 7 What You See You must now de[...]

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. When using COSMAC VIP, always start with the RUN switch in the down (or[...]

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. Kee p repeating t his seque nce to dra w a checkerboard pat[...]

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. You can record and keep your own cassette software library starting with[...]

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. The CH IP-8 lang uage program is shown in Appendix C in hex form so you can enter it directly in mem[...]

Your COSMAC VIP computer i n corporates the following special machine-language input and outpu t instructions: CODE OPERATION 69 6B 61 62 63 64 Turn displ ay on [...]

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. In Appendix C, the CDP1802 regi ster use for the CHIP8 la n[...]

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.

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. The 4-bit codes latch ed into U13 correspond to th e equivalent key [...]

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 . If, however, you do want to exp and your system, a variety of features ha ve been incl uded to [...]
