i am a newbie in mocrocontroller programing.... Iam having problem in understanding the assembly language so kindly help me

1) what should b the aproach in understanding assembly??
2) is it used now a days???
 

Re: assembly programming

yes it is used.
Getting books related to microprossesor design and programming will help you developing a good understanding about assembly language.
Search for this book "designing embedded systems with PIC microcontrollers principles and applications, by Tim Wilmshurst" good refrence for beginners I guess.

good luck,
Abeer

Thanks abeer for your reply...

but isnt microcontrolers different from processors..???

i am currently doing 8051 programing... plz sugest me approach to understand assembly!!!
 

Re: assembly programming

Actually, assembly language differs a little from one to another processor. Semantics can be different. A set of commands may be (should be) different.
As for microcontrollers, their core is microprocessor. Roughly speaking microcontroller = microprocessor + I/O. Imagine you have a little "motherboard". That's a microcontroller. Nowadays even processors can be considered such a way (SoC).
 

Re: assembly programming

yes it is used. it is rather easy if you concentrate on it.
for understanding microcontroller please read this book:
Microcontroller and Embedded System By Muhammad Ali Mazidi
 

If you are interested to learn assembly programming for 8051 read the book written by MAZIDI.Its name is "8051 controller & embedded s/m".It is a nice book where you can get idea about both 8051 & its assembly programming.

2) is it used now a days???

Why not? If it is easy to code for you in assembly than in C you can use it to program the controller...

Jerin. :)
 

Hi edaboarder... may be this book can help you..

assembly language is the most powerful programming language, but the problem is it is different for each processor or controller. if u r not going to stick with one controller family, better do your program in c language. learning assembly is not a tedious process. for 8051 refer '8051 by mazidi'.
 

Kindly look at this manual from atmel. This is common to all 8051.
This will help you a lot
