Work / Data bank

Work and Data banks hold raw binary data with no internal structure. Other raw bank types (Asm, Code, Datas) use the same format.

Commands

# Export raw bytes to JSON + .bin file
portamos disasm Data.Abk output/data.json

# Reassemble
portamos asm output/data.json Data.Abk

# Wrap an existing binary file in a bank envelope
portamos raw payload.bin output.Abk --type WORK
portamos raw payload.bin output.Abk --type DATA --bank-number 2
portamos raw payload.bin output.Abk --type WORK --chip

JSON schema

{
  "type": "Work",
  "bankNumber": 1,
  "chipRam": false,
  "dataFile": "data.bin"
}

Field	Type	Description
type	string	"Work", "Data", "Asm", "Code", or "Datas"
bankNumber	integer	Bank slot (1-based)
chipRam	boolean	true = chip RAM, false = fast RAM
dataFile	string	Path to the raw binary file relative to the JSON

raw command

For wrapping a pre-built binary without going through disasm/asm:

portamos raw payload.bin output.Abk --type WORK
portamos raw payload.bin output.Abk --type MUSIC --chip --bank-number 3

Valid --type values: WORK, DATA, MUSIC, SAMPLES, ASM, CODE, AMAL, MENU, TRACKER, DATAS.
