About:
Z80asm is a complete assembler implementation for the Zilog Z80 microprocessor, supporting all documented instructions and addressing modes. It produces object files that can be linked with the z80link tool to create executable binaries for Z80-based systems. This tool is essential for developers working on retro computing projects, embedded systems, or custom Z80 hardware.

Key Features:

Supports all Z80 instructions and addressing modes
Generates object files for linking with z80link
Cross-platform development capability
Detailed error reporting and diagnostics

Use Cases:

Developing software for Z80-based retro computers
Creating firmware for embedded Z80 systems
Educational purposes for learning assembly language

Alternatives:

z80asm (z88dk) – Part of the z88dk suite; more feature-rich but larger dependency footprint
asm80 – Alternative assembler with different syntax and feature set
