 most widely used registers are
– A, B
– R0, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7
– DPTR and PC
 all registers are 8-bits, except DPTR and the program counter
which are 16 bit
 register A is used for all arithmetic and logic instructions
 register B is also used for some arithmetic instructions
 simple instructions MOV and ADD
7
 MOV instruction
– MOV destination, source ;copy source to destination
MOV A,#55H ;load value 55H into reg A

MOV R0,A ;copy contents of A into R0 (A=R0=55H)
MOV R1,A ;copy contents of A into R1 (A=R0=R1=55H)
MOV R2,A ;copy contents of A into R2 (A=R0=R1=R2=55H)
MOV R3,#95H ;load value 95H into R3 (R3=95H)
MOV A,R3 ;copy contents of R3 into A (A=R3=95H)
8
 ADD instruction
– ADD A, source ;ADD the source operand
;to the accumulator
MOV A,#25H ;load 25H into A

MOV R2,#34H;load 34H into R2
ADD A,R2 ;add R2 to accumulator
Executing the program above results in A = 59H

SECTION 2.2: INTRODUCTION TO 8051
ASSEMBLY PROGRAMMING
 Structure of Assembly language
ORG 0H ;start (origin) at 0 Note this instruction

MOV R5,#25H ;load 25H into R5
MOV R7,#34H ;load 34H into R7
MOV A,#0 ;load 0 into A
ADD A,R5 ;add contents of R5 to A
;now A = A + R5
ADD A,R7 ;add contents of R7 to A
;now A = A + R7
ADD A, #12H ;add to A value 12H
;now A = A + 12H
HERE: SJMP HERE ;stay in this loop
END ;end of asm source file

SECTION 2.3: ASSEMBLING AND
RUNNING AN 8051 PROGRAM
 An Assembly language instruction

consists of four fields:
[label : ]mnemonic [operands] [;comment]

Figure 2–2 Steps to Create a Program

12
 More about "a51" and "obj" files

– "asm" file is source file and for this reason some
assemblers require that this file have the “a51"
extension
– this file is created with an editor such as Windows
Notepad or uVision editor
– uVision assembler converts the a51 assembly language
instructions into machine language and provides the
obj file
– assembler also produces the Ist file
13
 Ist file
– lst file is useful to the programmer because it lists all the
opcodes and addresses as well as errors that the assembler
detected
– uVision assumes that the list file is not wanted unless you
indicate that you want to produce it
– file can be accessed by an editor such as Note Pad and
displayed on the monitor or sent to the printer to produce a
hard copy
– programmer uses the list file to find syntax errors
– only after fixing all the errors indicated in the lst file that the
obj file is ready to be input to the linker program
14
SECTION 2.4: THE PROGRAM COUNTER
AND ROM SPACE IN THE 8051
 Program counter in the 8051

– 16 bits wide (program addresses 0000-FFFFH)
– Tells where to fetch the next instruction
– can access total of 64K bytes of code
– cannot be written
 MOV PC, #2012H ; will result in error
15
 Where the 8051 wakes up when it is

powered up:
– wakes up at memory address 0000 when it is
powered up
– first opcode must be stored at ROM address
0000H
 ORG 0H
16
 Placing code in program ROM

– the opcode and operand are placed in ROM
locations starting at memory 0000

SECTION 2.5: 8051 DATA TYPES AND
DIRECTIVES
 8051 data type and directives

– DB (define byte)
20
DIRECTIVES

– ORG (origin)
 Indicate beginning of the address
21
DIRECTIVES

– EQU (equate)
 Define a constant without occupying memory
22
DIRECTIVES

– END directive
 End of file
 Anything written after this is ignored
23
DIRECTIVES
 Rules for labels in Assembly language

– each label name must be unique
– first character must be alphabetic
– reserved words must not be used as labels

THE PSW REGISTER

AND STACK
 Stack in the 8051

– section of RAM used to store information
temporarily
– could be data or an address
– CPU needs this storage area since there are only
a limited number of registers

AND STACK

– SP (Stack Pointer)
 8-bit register storing the stack pointer
 Covering range of 0H - 0FFH
 By default points to 07H
 Look back at the RAM, bit-addressable memory starts at
20H !!
