PC Assembly Language

EBook Description: I taught Computer Science at the University of Central Oklahoma for 10 years. During this time I taught an introductory course in PC Assembly Language programming. I grew frustrated at teaching 16-bit real mode programming and decided to change to 32-bit protected mode. However, I soon ran into a problem. I could not find a textbook that covered 32-bit protected mode assembly programming! So, I decided to write my own.

Full text of the book with the exception of some chapters, great reference on MS-DOS and 80x86 instruction set.

ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE TUTORIALS AND INFO

Assembly language was once the only language that existed for programming computers. That was before it was used to build the first compiler. A compiler is in fact nothing but an automated assembly programmer. Then why would you still want to learn assembly? Well, here are some reasons:

PC Assembly Language

The tutorial has extensive coverage of interfacing assembly and C code and so might be of interest to C programmers who want to learn about how C works under the hood. All the examples use the free NASM (Netwide) assembler. The tutorial only covers programming under 32-bit protected mode and requires a 32-bit protected mode compiler.

Scott Edwards PIC Source Book (Assembly programming)

The book lists some utilities and extras on 'the accompanying disk.' Unfortunately, people other than the author hold the rights to these items, so they cannot be included with this online freebie.

X86 Assembly

This category belong to the x86 Assembly wikibook. The {{X86 Assembly Page}} template automatically includes pages in this category. That template should appear at the top of every page in the book.

The Art of Assembly Language Programming

A book on 16bit assembly programming. The book is divided into seven main sections: a section on machine organization and architecture, a section on basic assembly language, a section on intermediate assembly language, a section on interrupts and resident programs, a section covering IBM PC hardware peculiarities, a section on optimization, and various appendices.

We first look at a Console Application (Console App for short) that copies files. The program called 'cp' shows how to parse command line arguments and how to read and write files sequentially.

Assembly Language Tutor:

The tutorial is completely focused towards the computers that function with processors of the x86 family of Intel, and considering that the language bases its functioning on the internal resources of the processor, the described examples are not compatible with any other architecture.

Interrupt List

An interrupt is a hardware signal that tells the CPU to temporarily stop what it is doing and go do something else. Without interrupts, the CPU would have to constantly check for external events; with interrupts, the CPU can work on something else and still respond to an event as soon as it occurs.

SPIM S20: A MIPS R2000 Simulator

SPIM S20 is a simulator that runs programs for the MIPS R2000/R3000 RISC computers.2 SPIM can read and immediately execute files containing assembly language. SPIM is a self-contained system for running these programs and contains a debugger and interface to a few operating system services. The architecture of the MIPS computers is simple and regular, which makes it easy to learn and understand. The processor contains 32 general-purpose 32-bit registers and a well-designed instruction set that make it a propitious target for generating code in a compiler.
