* Built with minimal tooling: only [scas][scas] is needed

* Can read and write to memory through shell
|

* Can run arbitrary routine from arbitrary address with arbitrary arguments
|
||||
from shell.
|
||||
* Can "upload" code from serial link into memory and execute it.
|
||||
* Can manage multiple "block devices"
|
||||
* Can read SD cards as block devices
|
||||
* A z80 assembler written in z80 that is progressing well and should soon be
|
||||
able to replace `scas`.

## The upload.py tool
|

|

The serial connection is not always 100% reliable and a bad byte can slip in
|
||||
when you push your code and that's not fun when you try to debug your code (is
|
||||
this bad behavior caused by my logic or by a bad serial upload?).
|
||||
|
||||
To this end, there is a `upload.py` file in `tools/` that takes care of loading
|
||||
the file and verify the contents. So, instead of doing `load 8` followed by
|
||||
your `cat` above, you would have done:
|
||||
|
||||
./upload.py /dev/ttyUSB0 tosend.bin
|
||||
|
||||
This emits `load` and `peek` commands and fail appropriately if the `peek`
|
||||
doesn't match sent contents. Very handy.

## Labels in RAM code

If your code contains any label, make sure that you add a `.org` directive at
