The Art of Assembly Language Programming Using PICmicro® Technology: Core Fundamentals thoroughly covers assembly language used in programming the PIC Microcontroller (MCU). Using the minimal instruction set characteristic of all PICmicro® products, the author elaborates on how to execute loops, control timing and disassemble code from C mnemonics. Detailed memory maps assist the reader with tricky areas of code, and appendices on basic math supplement reader background. In-depth coverage is further provided on paging techniques that are unique to PICmicro® 16C57. This book is written for a broad range of skill levels, and is relevant for both the beginner and skilled C-embedded programmer.
In addition, a supplemental appendix provides advice on working with consultants, in general, and on selecting an appropriate consultant within the microchip design consultant program. With this book, users you will learn the symbols and terminology used by programmers and engineers in microprocessor applications, how to program using assembly language through examples and applications, how to program a microchip microprocessor, how to select the processor with minimal memory, and more.
