Assignment 1-Solution

The document describes a microprocessor systems and interfacing assignment with 4 problems: 1. Create an 8086 assembly subroutine to count the number of zero bits in a 16-bit register. 2. Create an 8086 program to toggle the even bits of a data byte at memory location 0055h. 3. Create an 8086 program to reverse the bits in the AL register without using ROR/ROL instructions. 4. Create an 8086 program to copy contents from one data segment starting at 45DDh to another starting at AF90h.

Problem 1 10 Marks

Create an 8086-88 assembly language subroutine that computes the total number of zero bits in a 16-bit register of
8088 CPU. Subroutine should put the count of bits in AL.

Solution:
Assume that the BX is the register in which the count of zero bits is to be computed.

XOR AL, AL
MOV DX, 1
MOV CL, 16

START:
TEST BX, DX
JZ COUNT
GO: SHL DX, 1
LOOP START
HLT

COUNT:
INC AL
JMP GO

Explanation:
At the beginning of
It#0: CX = 0, SI = 0, DI = 65535

It#1: CX = 65535, SI = 1, DI = 65534

It#2: CX = 65534, SI = 2, DI = 65533

It#3: CX = 65533, SI = 3, DI = 65532

So the sum of it# (or SI) and CX contents is always 65536 and
sum of the contents of SI and DI is always 65535.
Therefore, the contents of SI and DI at the start of the last
iteration (just before the HLT execution) will be:
Last iteration number = It# = 65536-1 = 65535
Hence the contents of SI are 65535. So the contents of DI must
be 0 as SI+DI = 65535.

Hence it verifies that all the 65536 bytes are copied


according to the given requirement.
