7Computer Software
- Computer programs are known as software.
- A program is a sequence of instructions.
- Machine instruction
- A sequence of binary digits which can be executed
by the processor - 0001 1000 0000 0110 A ? A B
- 0100 0011 A ? A 1
- 1000 0110 0000 0110 A ? 6
- Hard to understand, enter, debug, and maintain
for human being
8Assembly Language
- Defined by assembly instructions
- An assembly instruction is a mnemonic
representation of a machine instruction - ABA A ? A B
- DECA A ? A 1
- Assembly programs must be translated into machine
instructions before it can be executed --
translated by an assembler - There are two kinds of assemblers native
assembler and cross assembler. - Programmers need to work on the program logic at
a very low level and cannot achieve high
productivity.
9High-level Language
- Syntax of a high-level language is similar to
English. - A translator is required to translate the program
written in a high-level language -- done by a
compiler. - There are two types of compilers native compiler
and cross compiler. - High-level languages allow the user to work on
the program logic at higher level and achieve
higher productivity. - Source code
- A program written in assembly or high-level
language - Object code
- The output of an assembler or compiler

12Memory Addressing
- Memory consists of a sequence of directly
addressable locations. - A location is referred to as an information unit.
- A memory location can be used to store data,
instruction, and the status of peripheral
devices. - A memory location has two components an address
and its contents.
13- Data transfers between the CPU and the memory are
done over the common buses address bus and data
bus. - Notations maddr represents the contents of a
memory location, reg refers to the contents of
a register. - For example, 20 refers to the contents of
memory location at 20. - A refers to the contents of accumulator A.
14Addressing Modes
- A HCS12 instruction consists of one or two bytes
of opcode and zero to five bytes of operand
addressing information. - Opcode bytes specify the operation to be
performed by the CPU. - The first byte of a two-byte opcode is always
18. - Addressing modes specify the operand to be
operated on. - The addressing mode may specify a value, a
register, or a memory location to be used as an
operand.
15(No Transcript)
16Inherent Mode
- Instructions that use this mode do not use extra
bytes to specify operands because the
instructions either do not need operands or all
operands are CPU registers. - Operands are implied by the opcode.
- Examples
- NOP
- INX
- DECA
17Immediate Mode
- Operands for instructions that use immediate mode
are included in the instruction. - CPU does not access memory for operands.
- Example
- LDAA 55
- LDX 1000
18Direct Mode
- This mode can only specify memory locations in
the range of 0 - 255. - This mode uses only one byte to specify the
operand address. - Example
- LDAA 20
- LDAB 40
19Extended Mode
- In this mode, the full 16-bit address is provided
in the instruction. - For example,
- LDAA 4000
- LDX FE60
20Relative Mode (1 of 2)
- Used only by branch instructions
- Short and long conditional branch instructions
use exclusively relative mode. - BRCLR and BRSET instructions can also use
relative mode to specify branch target. - A short branch instructions consists of an 8-bit
opcode and a signed 8-bit offset. - The short relative mode can specify a range of
-128 127. - A long branch instruction consists of an 8-bit
opcode and a signed 16-bit offset. - The range of the long relative mode is from
-32768 32767. - A programmer uses a symbol to specify the branch
target and the assembler will figure out the
actual branch offset (distance) from the
instruction that follows branch instruction.
21Relative Mode (2 of 2)
- For example,
- minus
-
-
- bmi minus
-
22Indexed Mode
- This mode uses the sum of an index register (X,
Y, PC, or SP) and an offset to specify the
address of an operand. - The offset can be a 5-bit, 9-bit, and 16-bit
signed value or the value in accumulator A, B, or
D. - Automatic pre- or post-increment or pre- or
post-decrement by -8 to 8 are options. - PC can be used as the index register for all but
auto-increment or auto-decrement mode. - Indirect indexing with 16-bit offset or
accumulator D as the offset is supported. - A summary of indexed addressing modes is given in
Table 1.3.

24Indexed Addressing (1 of 2)
- 5-bit Constant Offset Indexed Addressing
- The base index register can be X, Y, SP, or PC.
- The range of the offset is from -16 to 15.
- Examples
- ldaa 0,X
- stab -8,0
- 9-bit Constant Offset Indexed Addressing
- The base index register can be X, Y, SP, or PC.
- The range of the offset is from -256 to 255.
- Examples
- ldaa FF,X
- ldab -20,Y
25Indexed Addressing (2 of 2)
- 16-bit Constant Offset Indexed Addressing
- The base index register can be X, Y, SP, or PC.
- This mode allows access any location in the 64-KB
range. - Examples
- ldaa 2000,X
- staa 4000,Y
- 16-bit Constant Indirect Indexed Addressing
- A 16-bit offset is added to the base index
register to form the address of a memory location
that contains a pointer to the memory location
affected by the instruction. - The square brackets distinguish this addressing
mode from the 16-bit constant offset indexing. - Example,
- ldaa 10,X
- staa 20,Y
26Auto Pre/Post Decrement/Increment Indexed
Addressing
- The base index register can be X, Y, or SP.
- The index register can be incremented or
decremented by an integer value either before or
after indexing taking place. - The index register retains the changed value
after indexing. - The value to be incremented or decremented is in
the ranges -8 thru -1 or 1 thru 8. - The value needs to be related to the size of the
operand or the current instruction. - Examples
- staa 1,-SP
- staa 1,SP-
- ldx 2,SP
- ldx 2,SP
27Accumulator Offset Indexed Addressing
- The effective address of the operand is the sum
of the accumulator and the base index register. - The base register can be X, Y, SP, or PC.
- The accumulator can be the 8-bit A or B or the
16-bit accumulator D. - Example
- ldaa B,X
- stab B,Y
28Accumulator D Indirect Indexed Addressing
The value in D is added to the value in the base
index register to form the address of the memory
location that contains the address to the memory
location affected by the instruction. The square
brackets distinguish this addressing mode from
accumulator D offset indexing. Example jmp D,P
C go1 dc.w target1 go2 dc.w target2 go3 dc.w targ
et3 target1 . target2 . target3
29HCS12 Instruction Examples
- The LOAD and STORE instructions
- The LOAD instruction copies the contents of a
memory location or places an immediate value into
an accumulator or a CPU register. - STORE instructions save the contents of a CPU
register into a memory location. - N and Z flags of the CCR register are
automatically updated and the V flag is cleared. - All except for the relative mode can be used to
select the memory location or value to be loaded
into an accumulator or CPU register. - All except for the relative and immediate modes
can be used to select memory location to store
contents of the CPU register. For example, - ldaa 0,X
- staa 20
- stx 8000
- ldd 100

31Transfer and Exchange Instructions (1 of 2)
- Transfer instructions copy the contents of a CPU
register or accumulator into another CPU register
or accumulator. - TFR is the universal transfer instruction, but
other mnemonics are accepted for compatibility
with the 68HC11. - The TAB and TBA instructions affect the N, Z, and
V condition code bits. - The TFR instruction does not affect any condition
code bits. For example, - TFR D,X D ? X
- TFR A,B A ? B
- TFR A,X 0A ? X upper 8-bit of X is
cleared to 0 - TFR X,A X70 ? A lower 8 bits copied to A
32Transfer and Exchange Instructions (2 of 2)
- The EXG instruction exchanges the contents of
a pair of registers or accumulators. For example, - exg A, B
- exg D,X
- exg A,X A ? X70, X ? 00A
- exg X,B X ? 00B, B ? X70
- The SEX instruction sign-extend an 8-bit twos
complement number into a 16-bit number so that it
can be used in 16-bit signed operations. For
example, - SEX A,X
33Move Instructions
- These instructions move data bytes or words from
a source to a destination in memory. - Six combinations of immediate, extended, and
index addressing modes are allowed to specify the
source and destination addresses - IMM ? EXT, IMM ? IDX, EXT ? EXT, EXT ?
IDX, IDX ? EXT, IDX ? IDX - For example,
- movb 100,800
- movw 0,X, 0,Y

35Add and Subtract Instructions
- These instructions perform fundamental arithmetic
operations. - The destinations of these instructions are always
a CPU register or accumulator. - There are two-operand and three-operand versions
of these instructions. - Three-operand ADD or SUB instructions always
include the C flag as one of the operand. - Three-operand ADD or SUB instructions are used to
perform multi-precision addition or subtraction. - Example
- adda 1000 A ? A 1000
- adca 1000 A ? A 1000 C
- suba 1002 A ? A 1002
- sbca 1000 A ? A - 1000 - C

37- Instruction Execution Cycle
- One or more read cycles to fetch instruction
opcode bytes and addressing information - One or more read cycles to fetch the memory
operand (s) (optional) - Perform the operation specified by the opcode
- One or more write cycles to write back the result
to either a register or a memory location
(optional) - Instruction Queue
- The HCS12 executes one instruction at a time and
many instructions take several clock cycles to
complete. - When the CPU is performing the operation, it does
not need to access memory. - The HCS12 prefetches instructions when the CPU is
not accessing memory to speedup the instruction
execution process. - There are two 16-bit queue stages and one 16-bit
buffer. Unless buffering is required, program
information is first queued in stage 1, and then
advanced to stage 2 for execution.
