The system (ICS) provides an automatic method for formatting a machine independent program written in a high level language to run on a prototype processor system without a detailed knowledge of the assembler, the linker and the language interface requirements. ICS provides a list of the items you need to specify in order to configure a program to a prototype processor system-everything from the name of your compiled high level language object program to the address where the program begins execution. Based on the entries, ICS generates the configuration object file and linker commands needed to configure your prototype processor system. Because you use ICS's high-level language directives, you can describe the prototype processor system more quickly and with fewer errors. And ICS checks the validity of your statements, thus saving you from errors that would not be caught until later. Finally, the ICS generated configuration file and linker commands are combined with the high level language object program and the language run-time support library to generate an executable load module. This module may then in turn be utilized to burn the necessary PROMs for the prototype processor system.
