ASMotor is a portable and generic assembler engine and development
system written in ANSI C99 and licensed under the GNU Public License
v3. The package consists of the assembler, the librarian and the
linker. It can be used as either a cross or native development
system.

ASMotor is the spiritual successor to RGBDS, which was a fairly
popular development package for the Game Boy. ASMotor is written
by the original RGBDS author.

The assembler syntax is based on the friendly, well-known Motorola
style macro language. ASMotor aims to be a friendly assembler and
toolchain, well-suited to projects that incorporate a large body
of hand crafted assembly code.

Currently supported CPUs are the 680x0 family, 6809, 6502 and
derivatives, 65816, MIPS32, Z80, Game Boy, DCPU-16, CHIP-8/SCHIP
and the RC811 CPU core.

In addition to raw binary dumps, the linker can output target
specific binaries for a number of devices using these processors
- various Commodore machines, Nintendo Game Boy, Sega Master System
and Genesis and more.

Interoperability is important and continues to improve. The linker
will read ASMotor's own object format and ELF linkable objects, so
it is easy to use a bit of C if necessary. The assembler can output
ASMotor's own object format, Amiga hunk format (link and executable)
and ELF. The assembler should slot right in to another toolchain
without any trouble, if that is preferred.
