MIPS Assembly Language Programmer's Guide

Preface: About This Book

This book describes the assembly language supported by the RISCompiler system, its syntax rules, and how to write assembly programs. For information on assembling and linking an assembly language program, see the MIPS RISCompiler and C Programmer's Guide.

The assembler converts assembly language statements into machine code. In most assembly languages, each instruction corresponds to a single machine instruction; however, some assembly language instructions can generate several machine instructions. This feature results in assembly programs that can run without modification on future machines, which might have different machine instructions.

See Appendix B for more information about assembler instructions that generate multiple machine instructions.

MIPS Assembly Language Programming

Book Description

June 7, 2003 0131420445 978-0131420441
Users of this book will gain an understanding of the fundamental concepts of contemporary computer architecture, starting with a Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC). An understanding of computer architecture needs to begin with the basics of modern computer organization. The MIPS architecture embodies the fundamental design principles of all contemporary RISC architectures. This book provides an understanding of how the functional components of modern computers are put together and how a computer works at the machine-language level. Well-written and clearly organized, this book covers the basics of MIPS architecture, including algorithm development, number systems, function calls, reentrant functions, memory-mapped I/O, exceptions and interrupts, and floating-point instructions. For employees in the field of systems, systems development, systems analysis, and systems maintenance.

See MIPS Run (2nd Edition)

Book Description

October 31, 2006 0120884216 978-0120884216 2
This second edition is not only a thorough update of the first edition, it is also a marriage of the best-known RISC architecture--MIPS--with the best-known open-source OS--Linux. The first part of the book begins with MIPS design principles and then describes the MIPS instruction set and programmers' resources. It uses the MIPS32 standard as a baseline (the 1st edition used the R3000) from which to compare all other versions of the architecture and assumes that MIPS64 is the main option. The second part is a significant change from the first edition. It provides concrete examples of operating system low level code, by using Linux as the example operating system. It describes how Linux is built on the foundations the MIPS hardware provides and summarizes the Linux application environment, describing the libraries, kernel device-drivers and CPU-specific code. It then digs deep into application code and library support, protection and memory management, interrupts in the Linux kernel and multiprocessor Linux.

Sweetman has revised his best-selling MIPS bible for MIPS programmers, embedded systems designers, developers and programmers, who need an in-depth understanding of the MIPS architecture and specific guidance for writing software for MIPS-based systems, which are increasingly Linux-based.

* Completely new material offers the best explanation available on how Linux runs on real hardware.

* Provides a complete, updated and easy-to-use guide to the MIPS instruction set using the MIPS32 standard as the baseline architecture with the MIPS64 as the main option.

* Retains the same engaging writing style that made the first edition so readable, reflecting the authors 20+ years experience in designing systems based on the MIPS architecture.

The Art of Assembly Language

Book Description

September 2003 1886411972 978-1886411975 Pap/Cdr
Presents assembly language from the high-level programmer's point of view, so you can start writing meaningful programs within days. The High Level Assembler (HLA) that accompanies the book is the first assembler that allows you to write portable assembly language programs that run under either Linux or Windows with nothing more than a recompile. The CD-ROM includes the HLA and the HLA Standard Library, all the source code from the book, and over 50,000 lines of additional sample code, all well-documented and tested. The code compiles and runs as-is under Windows and Linux.

About the Author

Randall Hyde is the author of Write Great Code Volumes 1 and 2 (No Starch Press) and the co-author of MASM 6.0 Bible (The Waite Group). He has written for Dr. Dobb ™s Journal, Byte, and various professional journals. Hyde taught assembly language at the University of California, Riverside for over a decade.
