Vhex disassembler

Vhex is a GUI, Vim based, disassembler for fx9860g. The Casio's OS code is not open-source, but we can read the binary for understand his working. There are in particular the syscalls, OS's functions that can be called as a library by the add-ins, which are a gold mine of clues about the functioning of the material.

• vbrjmp <zone> jump into the Casio interrupt, exception or tlb miss handlers.
• syscall <id> jump into the syscall function.
• ram <zone> jump into the RAM mapped at different parts of the Virtual Memory.

Building

Before compiling for the first time, There are few dependencies:

• A suitable GCC toolchain in the PATH. You can absolutely not build Vhex with your system compiler! sh3eb-elf is strongly advised.
• g1a wrapper to generate the Casio header.
• P7 communication utilities.

To compile the project, you just plug the calculator and execute:

% make
% make install
