Subject: BCC, ELKS 24 Bit addressing mode
Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2006 13:01:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4422801D.2000006@sentvion.com> (raw)

Dear All,

I am porting ELKS to a special version of 80186 to be used in embedded 
devices. This special version known as Turbo186 is using 24 bit 
addressing using a special addressing scheme. So I need to modify bcc or 
as86 to support 24 bit addressing mode.

This type of operation is common in embedded usage. 24 bit addressing is 
working like this,

In normal 20 bit addressing when far jumps are used, two 16 bit operands 
are given for address calculation. First operand is left shifted 4 bits 
and added to second operand, then 20 bit address is calculated.

In 24 bit addressing mode, first operand is left shifted 8 bits and 
added to second operand, resulting in 24 bit address.

What am I required to do to support 24 bits addressing in bcc? Can you 
give me some insight or guide me to the correct person?

Thank you for your consideration and help.

Kindest regards,

Serdar Sutay
