Appendix: Program listings

The following programs are intended as illustrative of the use of the commands discussed. They are certainly trivial, and probably not paragons of programming technique! In each, I have added a section called simulator: this section is a suggestion for things you might like to do during the simulation of your program. For instance, you might need to have a watch window open showing the W register and portb, as well as having the stack open too. Of course, it’s up to you how you design and code these programs, and how you experiment with them in the simulator.

"...tried to build it i got a cannot find .hex message when i looked closer... lines needed altering H'10' H'15' and H'08' needed changing to 0010h 0015h and 0008h then it worked perfectly. "

Program 2: moves.asm

;moves.asm to show how MOVF, MOVWF & MOVLW work
;*********************************** simulator ***
;watch window: reg1, w, pcl
;*********************************** setup     ***
processor 16c84
reg1    equ  h'10'
;*********************************** program   ***
start:  movlw h'05'     ;load w
    movwf reg1  ;move (w) to reg1
    movlw h'82' ;change w
    movf reg1,0 ;restore w
    end

Program 3: clears . asm

    ;clears.asm to show how clrf & clrw work
    ;based on moves.asm
    ;*********************************** simulator
    ;watch window: reg1, w, pcl
    ;*********************************** setup
    processor 16c84
    reg1 equ h'10'
    ;*********************************** program
    start: 
    movlw h'05' ;load w
        movwf reg1  ;move (w) to reg1
        movlw h'82'     ;change w
        movf reg1,0     ;restore w
    clear: 
    clrf reg1   ;clear reg1
        clrw        ;clear w
        end

Program 4: arith . asm

;arith.asm to show using ADDWF, SUBWF, ADDLW, SUBLW
;************************************* simulator
;watch window: reg1,reg2,status,w,pcl

    subwf reg2,1    ;sub w from reg2, into reg2
    end

Program 5: inter1.asm

;inter1.asm is a simple interrupt handler-
; it does not save the state of the machine
; nor does it determine the kind of interrupt.

;*********************************************simulator

;stack: have this open too- see the return address come & go
;asynch stimulus: have a toggle on rb4
;********************************************* setup

Program 6: inter2.asm

;inter2.asm does save the state of the machine
