Most people who 'start from scratch' on a newly developed board like
this would have a crude 'monitor' program that simply allows you to
inspect or change RAM/ROM and upload binary files to memory. Such a
program would only occupy a few hundred bytes at most. You can then
assemble programs and test them in RAM. Once the program is stable then
you can re-assemble it to reside at its new address in ROM and burn it.
