  1. Directives, Memory, and Stack

  2. Directives • Special commands to the assembler • May or may not generate machine code • Categories by their function • Programming directives • Object file directives • Control Directives • List Directives • Data Directives

  3. Data Directives Describe data ASCII data can be stored in memory using declare byte (DB) or DATA

  4. Data Directives - Example DE "Test Data"

  5. List Directives Control listing process Example: LIST P=18F4520, F=INHX32 ;directive to define processor and file format #include <P18F4520.INC> ;processor specific variable definitions

  6. Object File Directives How to generate code in the object file Example: RESET_VECTOR CODE Ox0000 Example:

  7. Control Directives Control the assembly at the time of link process

  11. Program Memory • Program memory addresses are 21-bit address starting at location 0x000000. • Program memory is either PROM or EEPROM. • The PROM version is called OTP (one-time programmable) • The EEPROM version is called Flash memory. • If it has flash it will have 256 bytes or 1024 bytes of data EEPROM • The data EEPROM memory is indirectly addressed through the special function register

  12. There are three important memory locations in the program memory. 0x0000, 0x0008, and 0x0018 called vectors. Generally the GOTO instruction in assembly language is placed at a vector location. A vector is an address that is accessed when the reset or interrupt occurs. The reset vector is 0x0000, the high priority interrupt vector is 0x0008, and the low priority interrupt vector is 0x0018. Program Memory

  13. Data Memory • Data memory is either SRAM or EEPROM. • SRAM data memory begins at 12-bit address 0x000 and ends at 12-bit address 0xFFF. • Not all PIC18 versions contain 4K or data memory space. • Various PIC18 versions contain between 256 and 3968 bytes of data memory.

  14. Data Memory • There are two types of registers: • general-purpose registers (GPRs) • special-function registers (SFRs) • GPRs are used to hold dynamic data when the PIC18 CPU is executing a program. • SFRs are registers used by the CPU and peripheral modules for controlling the desired operation of the MCU. • The upper 128 bytes of the data memory are used for special function registers (SFR) at addresses 0xF80 through 0xFFF. Some versions of the PIC18 have additional SFRs at locations below 0xF80.

  19. MOVLW 0x06 ;place a 0x06 into W ADDLW 0x02 ;add a 0x02 to W MOVLB 2 ;load BSR with bank 2 MOVWF 0x00, 1 ;copy W to data register 0x00 ;of bank 2 or address 0x200 ; OR using the BANKED keyword MOVLW 0x06 ;place a 0x06 into W ADDLW 0x02 ;add a 0x02 to W MOVLB 2 ;load BSR with 2 MOVLF 0x00, BANKED;copy W to data register 0x00 ;of bank 2 or address 0x200 ; OR without any bank indication MOVLW 0x06 ;place a 0x06 into W ADDLW 0x02 ;add a 0x02 to W MOVLB 2 ;load BSR with bank 2 MOVWF 0x00 ;copy W to data register 0x00 ;of bank 2 or address 0x200

The program counter is not directly addressable.

  22. Initializing the RAM – indirect addressing What is this doing?

  23. Program Stack Memory • The PIC18 contains a program stack that stores up to 31 returnaddresses from functions. • The program stack is 21 bits in width as is the program address. • When a function is called, the return address (location of the next step in a program) is pushed onto the stack. • When the return occurs within the function, the return address is retrieved from the stack and placed into the program counter.
