[Coco] Kip's Single Board Computer

[Salvador Garcia]

I might not understand your question, but I'll answer anyways. Most, if not all, CPUs have a hard coded initial address that is loaded upon power up. Once that happens the CPU just jumps to that address. It is the responsibility of the designer to make sure that 1) s/He knows what the initial address is and 2) there is executable code at that address, regardless whether it comes from a read only device or from a circuit that returns NOP for all address provided.

Sorry I was not clear in my question, I was referring to the reset vector. From
where will the cpu start if there is no defined level at 0xFFFE and 0xFFFF.

Is
there a hard coded address somewhere?

You design a circuit to present 0x12 on the data bus for
all reads.
