Software and hardware tools used for ARM
Programming:
• Keil μVision4 IDE (ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS – SIMULATION - PART - A)
• ARM7TDMI - LPC 2148 EVALUATION BOARD FOR INTERFACING
EXPERIMENTS (PART - B)
Assembly Programming - Intro
• https://prezi.com/d2o8uejbm3a5/assembly-language-programming/
Project Creation in Keil uvision4IDE:
• Create a folder with name as your USN.
• Create a project folder before creating NEW project.
• Use separate folder for each project
• Open Keil uVision4 IDE software by double clicking on “Keil
Uvision4”icon
Project Creation in Keil uvision4IDE:

• Open Keil μVision4 IDE software by double clicking on


Keil μVision4 icon:
 Go to “Project” then to “New Project” and save it
with a name in the Respective Project folder,
already you created.
Project Creation in Keil uvision4IDE:
• Go to “Project”, select “New μvision Project” and save the project:
• Select the device as “NXP (founded by Philips)”
In that “LPC2148” then Press OK.
• Once the project is created, select the target device - select LPC2148,
click on OK.
A dialog box with “copy startup. s to project
folder and add file to project?” will pop up,
select NO.
Thus, the target is created along with source
group1 as shown below:
Open the text editor. Go to “File” In that “New” to open an editor
window.
Write the program and save the program with the extension .asm
Once the program is saved, the program file must be added to the target.
Right click on the “Source Group 1”, click on Add existing files to group
“source group 1” and then select the assembly program and click on Add,
Close.
Once the program is added to the source
group, right click, select Build target or press F7
Once the target is built, it displays the
information with any errors or zero errors.
If no errors, we can proceed for debug, select
start /stop debugging option.
Then select Run option from the debug menu or can use
the key F5.

If F5 key - continuous run


If F11key - step one line
If F10key – step over line
The results obtained will be verified
in the respective registers and in
memory window as shown below:

Assembly Program Structure
• AREA: This directive defines the name of the program and specifies the
memory area where the code resides. In this example, the code is marked
as READONLY to indicate that it should not be modified during program
execution.
• ENTRY: This directive specifies the entry point of the program. It marks
the first instruction to be executed when the program starts running.
• Define constants and variables: This section is where you can define any
constants or variables that will be used in your program. You can use the
EQU directive to assign values to constants.
Assembly Program Structure
• In ARM assembly programming, "DCD" and "DCB" are directives used to
allocate memory and define the initial values of data within that memory, with
the key difference being that DCD allocates 32-bit words (4 bytes) while DCB
allocates single bytes; essentially, DCD is for larger data types like integers,
while DCB is for characters or small values.
• DCD (Define Constant Doubleword):
• Used to allocate a block of memory where each element is a 32-bit word.
• Syntax: label DCD expression, expression, ...
• Example: my_array DCD 10, 20, 30 ; Allocates 3 32-bit words with values 10, 20, and 30
Assembly Program Structure
• DCB (Define Constant Byte):
• Used to allocate a block of memory where each element is a single byte.
• Syntax: label DCB expression, expression, ...
• Example: my_string DCB "Hello", 0 ; Allocates 6 bytes for the string "Hello" with a null
terminator
Assembly Program Structure
• Stack pointer and memory initialization: This section is optional but can be used to set up
the stack pointer (SP) and perform any necessary memory initialization before the program
starts.
• Reset vector: This is the starting point of your program. It typically includes initialization tasks
that need to be performed before the main program loop.
• Main Loop: This is the main program loop where the bulk of your program's logic resides. It
contains the instructions that will be executed repeatedly until a termination condition is met.
• Handle interrupts or other events: This section is optional but can be used to handle
interrupts or other events that may occur during program execution. You can define interrupt
service routines (ISRs) here.
Assembly Program Structure
• Check for program termination condition and exit: This section is optional but can be
used to check for a termination condition. If the condition is met, you can include an exit
routine or branch to the end of the program.
• Loop back to the main loop: After handling interrupts or checking termination
conditions, the program typically loops back to the main loop to continue its execution.
• Define interrupt service routines (ISRs): This section is optional but can be used to
define interrupt service routines (ISRs) that will be executed in response to specific
interrupts.
• END: This directive marks the end of the program.

INTRODUCTION TO ARM Cortex M3
PROCESSOR
• The ARM Cortex-M3 is a general purpose 32-bit microprocessor, which offers high
performance and very low power consumption. The Cortex-M3 offers many new features,
including:
• Thumb- 2 instruction set,
• low interrupt latency,
• hardware divide,
• interruptible/continuable multiple load and store instructions,
• automatic state save and restore for interrupts,
• tightly integrated interrupt controller with Wake-up Interrupt Controller and
• multiple core buses capable of simultaneous accesses.
INTRODUCTION TO ARM Cortex M3
PROCESSOR
• The processor has a Harvard architecture, which means that it has a separate
instruction bus and data bus.
• This allows instructions and data accesses to take place at the same time, and
as a result of this, the performance of the processor increases because data
accesses do not affect the instruction pipeline.
• This feature results in multiple bus interfaces on Cortex-M3, each with
optimized usage and the ability to be used simultaneously.
• The instruction and data buses share the same memory space (a unified
memory system).
