Lab 1: Intro to Assembly

In this lab we assemble and disassemble small programs consisting of a few simple commands.  The main goals of this experiment are:

  • Gain familiarity with the use of mnemonics to represent operation machine code
  • Take note that a single mnemonic can have different machine codes depending on its addressing mode
  • Explore the difference between immediate addressing mode and other modes (e.g. direct)
  • Learn to retrieve data from, and store data in memory using direct addressing mode

This lab also provides exposure to the Excel based 68HC11 simulator.  This simulator is perfect for simulating simple programs without using hardware or complicated stand alone programs.
