Programming Model

A programmer should;
„ Know the internal structure of the 8051

„ Understand the “Programming model”


i.e. how programmers “see” the 8051
„ Know how to access the registers and
accumulators with programs
Binary Data
„ Unlike human, computers do not know verbal
instructions; they only know 0s and 1s.
„ Binary data: program in a stream of 0s and 1s
„ It is also called “Machine Language”
„ For convenient purpose, machine language
programs are usually expressed in hexadecimal
(i.e. base-16) format

Assembly Language Syntax
„ Syntax = format/rule
[label:] mnemonic [operands] [;comment]
„ Items in square brackets are optional

„ Example:

Thus, Machine Code = Operation Code (Opcode) + Operand


Mnemonic/Operation Code
(Opcode)

„ Program = a set of instructions


„ All computers work according to the
program
„ All instructions contain a “verb” , which
tells the computer what to do
„ This “verb” is called mnemonic/operation
code e.g. MOV R0, #12h –– “MOV” is the
opcode
Operand
„ Apart from Opcode, an instruction also includes
object to act on.
„ The object is called an operand.
„ Operand is optional. Instructions can have one,
two or no operands.
„ e.g.
„ MOV R0, #12h --- R0 and #12h are two operands
„ ADD R1 --- R1 is the only one operand
„ NOP --- no operand follows
Pseudo-Instructions/Directives
Assembler state control

ORG (origin)
„ indicates the beginning of the instructions. The number
that either hex or decimal.

END
„ Indicates the end of assembly instructions.

EQU (equate)
„ used to define a constant without occupying a memory
location. It does not set aside storage for a data item
but associates a constant value with a data label so that
when the label appears in the program. Its constant
value will be substituted for the label.
„ Eg. COUNT EQU 25H
Define Byte (DB) and Data Types
„ Used to define 8-bit data and store them in
assigned memory locations. Define data can be in
decimal, binary, hex, or ASCII formats.

ORG 500H
DATA1: DB 28 ;DECIMAL (1C in Hex)
DATA2: DB 00110101B ;BINARY (35 in Hex)
DATA3: DB 39H ;HEX
ORG 510H
DATA4: DB “2591” ; ASCII NUMBERS
ORG 518H
DATA6: DB “My name is Deen” ;ASCII CHARACTERS

Program Pointer
Programming is both a science
and art !!

Science – rules of grammar,


punctuation, spelling &
structure.

Art – how the words are


arranged
How to tell a lump of sand what to do:

1. study common programming techniques


2. analyze example programs
3. write many practice programs

„ Assembler
„ Change mnemonic code into machine code
„ Label can be used to represent symbolic
address/data
„ Directives : like pre-processing operator (#) in C
language.
„ Linkage Editor
„ Link objective code into executable file
(*.obj → *.exe)
