Human-Readable Machine Language
Computers like ones and zeros…

Humans like symbols…

Assembler is a program that turns symbols into
machine instructions.
ISA-specific:
close correspondence between symbols and instruction set
mnemonics for opcodes
labels for memory locations
additional operations for allocating storage and initializing data
ADD R6,R2,R6; increment index reg.

LC-3 Assembly Language Syntax
Each line of a program is one of the following:
an instruction
an assember directive (or pseudo-op)
a comment
Whitespace (between symbols) and case are ignored.
Comments (beginning with “;”) are also ignored.

An instruction has the following format:
LABEL OPCODE OPERANDS; COMMENTS

optional

mandatory
ADD R3, R3, R2
ADD R1, R1, #-1

7-
Opcodes and Operands
Opcodes
reserved symbols that correspond to LC-3 instructions
listed in Appendix A
ex: ADD, AND, LD, LDR, …
Operands
registers — specified by Rn, where n is the register number
numbers — indicated by # (decimal) or x (hex)
label — symbolic name of memory location
separated by comma
number, order, and type correspond to instruction format
ex:
ADD R1,R1,R3
ADD R1,R1,#3
LD R6,NUMBER
BRz LOOP

7-
Labels and Comments
Label
placed at the beginning of the line
assigns a symbolic name to the address corresponding to a line
ex:
LOOP ADD R1,R1,#-1
BRp LOOP
Comment
anything after a semicolon is a comment
ignored by assembler
used by humans to document/understand programs
tips for useful comments:
avoid restating the obvious, as “decrement R1”
provide additional insight, as in “accumulate product in R6”
use comments to separate pieces of program

Assembler Directives
Pseudo-operations
do not refer to operations executed by program
used by assembler
look like instruction, but “opcode” starts with dot “.”
Opcode Operand Meaning
.ORIG address starting address of your program
.END tell Assembler where the program ends
.BLKW n allocate n words of storage
.FILL n allocate one word, initialize with value n
.STRINGZ n-character
string allocate n+1 locations,
initialize w/characters and null terminator

Trap Codes
LC-3 assembler provides “pseudo-instructions” for
each trap code, so you don’t have to remember them.
Code Equivalent Description
HALT TRAP x25 Halt execution and print message to console.
IN TRAP x23 Print prompt on console,
read (and echo) one character from keybd.
Character stored in R0[7:0].
OUT TRAP x21 Write one character (in R0[7:0]) to console.
GETC TRAP x20 Read one character from keyboard.
Character stored in R0[7:0].
PUTS TRAP x22 Write null-terminated string to console.
Address of string is in R0(pointing to first char address).

Style Guidelines
Use the following style guidelines to improve
the readability and understandability of your programs:
Provide a program header, with author’s name, date, etc.,
and purpose of program.
Start labels, opcode, operands, and comments in same column
for each line. (Unless entire line is a comment.)
Use comments to explain what each register does.
Give explanatory comment for most instructions.
Use meaningful symbolic names.
Mixed upper and lower case for readability.
ASCIItoBinary, InputRoutine, SaveR1
Provide comments between program sections.
Each line must fit on the page — no wraparound or truncations.
Long statements split in aesthetically pleasing manner.

Assembly Process
Convert assembly language file (.asm)
into an executable file (.obj) for the LC-3 simulator.

First Pass:
scan program file
find all labels and calculate the corresponding addresses;
this is called the symbol table
Second Pass:
convert instructions to machine language,
using information from symbol table

First Pass: Constructing the Symbol Table
Find the .ORIG statement,
which tells us the address of the first instruction.
Initialize location counter (LC), which keeps track of the
current instruction.
For each non-empty line in the program:
If line contains a label, add label and LC to symbol table.
Increment LC.
NOTE: If statement is .BLKW or .STRINGZ,
increment LC by the number of words allocated.
Stop when .END statement is reached.

NOTE: A line that contains only a comment is considered an empty line.

Practice
Construct the symbol table for the program:
Symbol Address

.ORIG x3000
AND R2, R2, #0 ; R2 is counter, initially 0x3000
LD R3, PTR ; R3 is pointer to characters 0x3001
TRAP x23 ; R0 gets character input 0x3002
LDR R1, R3, #0 ; R1 gets first character 0x3003
TEST ADD R4, R1, #-4 ; Test for EOT (ASCII x04) 0x3004
BRz OUTPUT ; If done, prepare the output 0x3005
NOT R1, R1 ; 0x3006
ADD R1, R1, R0 ; If match, R1 = xFFFF 0x3007
NOT R1, R1 ; If match, R1 = x0000 0x3008
BRnp GETCHAR ; If no match, do not increment 0x3009
ADD R2, R2, #1 ; 0x300A
GETCHAR ADD R3, R3, #1 ; Point to next character. 0x300B
LDR R1, R3, #0 ; R1 gets next char to test 0x300C
BRnzp TEST ; 0x300D
OUTPUT LD R0, ASCII ; Load the ASCII template 0x300E
ADD R0, R0, R2 ; Covert binary count to ASCII 0x300F

Second Pass: Generating Machine Language
For each executable assembly language statement,
generate the corresponding machine language instruction.
If operand is a label,
look up the address from the symbol table.

Potential problems:
Improper number or type of arguments
ex: NOT R1,#7
ADD R1,R2
ADD R3,R3,NUMBER
Immediate argument too large
ex: ADD R1,R2,#1023
Address (associated with label) more than 256 from instruction
can’t use PC-relative addressing mode

translate these statements into LC-3 machine language.

LC-3 Assembler
Using “assembler” or LC3Edit (Windows),
generates several different output files.

This one gets
loaded into the
simulator.

7-
Object File Format
LC-3 object file contains
Starting address (location where program must be loaded),
followed by…
Machine instructions

Example
Beginning of “count character” object file looks like this:
0011000000000000
0101010010100000
0010011000010001
1111000000100011

7-
Multiple Object Files
An object file is not necessarily a complete program.
system-provided library routines
code blocks written by multiple developers

For LC-3 simulator,
can load multiple object files into memory,
then start executing at a desired address.
system routines, such as keyboard input, are loaded automatically
loaded into “system memory,” below x3000
user code should be loaded between x3000 and xFDFF
each object file includes a starting address
be careful not to load overlapping object files

Linking and Loading
Loading is the process of copying an executable image
into memory.
more sophisticated loaders are able to relocate images
to fit into available memory
must readjust branch targets, load/store addresses

Linking is the process of resolving symbols between
independent object files.
suppose we define a symbol in one module,
and want to use it in another
some notation, such as .EXTERNAL, is used to tell assembler that a symbol is defined in another module
linker will search symbol tables of other modules to resolve symbols and complete code generation before loading

Count = 0
(R2 = 0)
Ptr = 1st file character
(R3 = M[x3012])
Input char
from keybd
(TRAP x23)
Done?
(R1 ?= EOT)
Load char from file
(R1 = M[R3])
Match?
(R1 ?= R0)
Incr Count
(R2 = R2 + 1)
Load next char from file
(R3 = R3 + 1, R1 = M[R3])
Convert count to
ASCII character
(R0 = x30, R0 = R2 + R0)
Print count
