A Z80 Instruction Set Exerciser for CP/M-80

ZEXALL

A Z80 Instruction Set Exerciser for CP/M-80

The ZEXDOC and ZEXALL programs by Frank D. Cringle are for testing the Zilog Z80 CPU. There are two versions - one tests by using the documented flags (zexdoc.com) and the other one tests by checking both the documented and undocumented flags (zexall.com).

The Flag bits are -

bit    7    6    5    4    3    2   1   0
       S    Z    x    H    x   P/V  N   C

where
       C = carry flag
       N = add/subtract flag
     P/V = parity/overflow flag
       H = half carry flag
       Z = zero flag
       S = sign flag

The flag bits marked x above are the undocumented flags. There's a summary of how the Z80 flags are affected by each instruction (including the undocumented ones) at http://www.z80.info/z80sflag.htm

The exercisers can be run on a real Zilog Z80 8-bit CPU or to verify operation under an emulator. Both binaries can be run under one of the Digital Research's CP/M-80 operating systems (CP/M 2.2, CP/M 3 etc).

These programs (and their source-code in Z80 assembler) were extracted from the final version of the YAZE-AG (Yet Another Z80 Emulator) version 2.51.1 curated by Andreas Gerlich at

Updates

• Add modified source-code that can be assembled using Hector Peraza's ZSM4 Z80 Macro Assembler (see https://github.com/hperaza/ZSM4 for source, binaries and documentation). These source files have the .mac file type. Build these with commands like -
