ARM Assembly Language Practice Question And Answer Part-4

 Hello Dear Readers, 

Today in this post I will provide some basics to advanced ARM's assembly language practice QA part-4, I have used the Keil tool for code writing.

Q-1). Write an assembly language program that performs a mode change by modifying the contents of the CPSR. 

  a. The mode you should change to is user mode, and you have to modify the mode field of CPSR by the value of 0x10. 

  b. This assumes that the current mode is a privileged mode such as supervisor mode.

Code:

; program which changes the microprocessor mode 

masking equ 0x1f 

user_mode equ 0x10 

 area change, code, readonly

entry 

 MRS R0,CPSR; read the status of the microprocessor 

 BIC R0, R0,#masking; apply the masking bit 

 ORR R0,R0,#user_mode ; set the mode user_mode 

 MSR CPSR_C,R0 ; written back with control_field_mask 

 END 

Output:


Q-2). Write an assembly language program that generates Software Interrupt (SVC) to perform an operation either addition or multiplication of 3 registers based on value passed to SVC Number. Store result at memory location 0x5000.

Best Book for Designing Microarchitecture of Microprocessor Using Verilog HDL

  Hello Dear Readers, Currently, after succeeding in many topics now I starting to provide technical book reviews which were I have completed and still read books always. So let us start today's book review. Book Name:   Computer Principles and Design in Verilog  HDL Description:  Uses Verilog HDL to illustrate computer architecture and microprocessor design, allowing readers to readily simulate and adjust the operation of each design, and thus build industrially relevant skills Introduces the computer principles, computer design, and how to use Verilog HDL (Hardware Description Language) to implement the design Provides the skills for designing processor/arithmetic/cpu chips, including the unique application of Verilog HDL material for CPU (central processing unit) implementation Despite the many books on Verilog and computer architecture and microprocessor design, few, if any, use Verilog as a key tool in helping a student to understand these design techniques...
