EMBEDDED ASSEMBLY LEVEL PROGRAMMING

INTRODUCTION:

• An assembly language was mainly used for mnemonics .
• He program that converts this to machine level language is known as assembler.
• Basically it is an aggregation of statements
• We can categorise our custom code into different sections to make it more understandable and more legible.This is achieved by using labels

For E.g:- if we use the label

HERE:

———;////statement 1

———;//statement 2

• It implies that a specific part of the code is defined under this label or loop.
• If we want to loop this forever we can use the while loop.

NOTE:

• The comment field is preceded by the semicolon whereas the labels are succeeded by a colon.

MAJOR STEPS INVOLVED IN ASSEMBLY LEVEL LANGUAGE PROGRAMMING:

1. Creating
2. Assembling
3. Running

STEPS INVOLVED:

• Initially we must use a basic editor such as MS-DOS (old operating system) to produce an ASCII file.
• This  .asm source file comprises of program source code.
• The function of the assembler now will be to .
• It serves the programmer well because the complete list of opcodes as well as addresses will be detected.It will eventually produce an .obj file and a .lst file(optional)
• The so called assemblers will be needing a third procedure known as linking where multiple objects are linked together to yield a file with format “abs”.
• Finally this .abs file is converted to hex format by the aid of object to hex converter.
• This hex file will be dumped/burned to the ROM memory of the microchip.

STEPS INVOLVED IN ASSEMBLY LEVEL LANGUAGE CODING:

An illustration of an Assembly level language code:

1.0000      ORG  0H      ;starting point at location 0

2 0000 7D25 MOV  R5,#35H    ;then load 35H into register R5

3.0002 7F34 MOV  R7,#44H    ;then load 44H into register R7

4.0004 7400 MOV  A,#0      ;then load value  0 into accumulator(A)

5.0006 2D   ADD  A,R5      ;then sum  contents of R5 with Accumulator

6.0007 2F   ADD  A,R7      ;then add contents of R7 with Accumulator

7.0008 2412 ADD  A,#12H     ;then add value in  Awith 12 H

8.000A 80FE HERE: SJMP HERE ;keep staying in this loop

9.000C END                     ;finally the asm file ends here

• Note that each directives have a specific function to perform such as MOV mimplies the result is moved to a particular register or  the accumulator.
