DATA FILE MODE in8085 MicroprocessorWe can refer to ‘X8085 cross-assembler’ manual for details.The format of Intel Hex: We have shown the MULT.HEX file to give a brief description at a glance.:01 C100 00 04 3A:01 C200 00 05 38:02 C300 00 00 00 3B:10 C000 00 21 00 C1 5E 16 00 21 00 C2 7E 21 00 00FE 00 CA 90:10 C010 00 17 C0 19 3D C2 12 C0 22 F7 FF 22 00C3 CD BC 06 D3:01 C020 00 76 A9:00 0000 01 FFThere are several lines which the file consists of which are termed as records. ...

We have seen previously that the linker is invoked in three modes i.e. they are command line mode, prompt mode and data file mode. For the linker to be run in this mode we type ‘LINK85 -C MULT.OBJ’ along with the change of address. In the above command simply “MULT” is enough instead of the command ‘MULT.OBJ’. We run the linker in this Command Mode type as by simply the following steps: Simply ‘MULT’ is more than enough instead of ‘MULT.OBJ’ in the command above. The linker in running command mode is indicated by the option -C. The command which ... Read More

We have seen previously that the linker is invoked in three modes i.e. they are command line mode, prompt mode and data file mode. In the Prompt mode the linker is run by simply typing the ‘LINK85’. Responding to the prompt the linker requests the user for the file name. In the given example, responding with ‘MULT.OBJ’ is there in fact MULT is enough.The linker prompts for the address of the offset. The value of the offset which is input by means of the user is finally added to the value of any ORG statements in the file. In response ... Read More

The file MULT.ASM which is created by using an editor is simply a text file. We cannot execute this file directly. At first we have to assemble the file, and then we have to link it. The step of assembly the translation of the program of assembly language to machine code requires the generation of a .OBJ file.Now a .HEX file is generated by using a linker. We have seen previously that how the naming of the input and output file is done.Input filenameThe source name of the file must be responded by the user. In the given example the ... Read More

Generation of .OBJ file by using a cross-assembler:The file assembly language program file, e.g. MULT.ASM which is created by using an editor is simply a text file. We cannot execute this file directly. At first we have to assemble the file, and then we have to link it. The step of assembly the translation of the program of assembly language to machine code requires the generation of a .OBJ file.We have used some examples in the text of ‘2500 A.D i.e. the 8085 cross-assembler of version 4.01.In the prompt mode the translation is:We type ‘X8085’ just for performing the translation ...

The program written in assembly language is entered by us by the help of any editor, we prefer a screen editor because when we enter the program it is of no importance for the particular exact column label of instructions and the starting of the program. But the point to be noted that the instruction must start after column 1. More over the aligned program must be lucidly written for reading if its various fields should be assigned properly. There are many features which the editor provides like many help features which the user gets to be more familiar by ... Read More

Now let us see a program of Intel 8085 Microprocessor. In this program we will see how to multiply two numbers using shift and add methods.Problem Statement:Write 8085 Assembly language program to multiply two 8-bit numbers using shift and add method.Discussion:The shift and add method is an efficient process. In this program, we are taking the numbers from memory location 8000H and 8001H. The 16 bit results are storing into location 8050H onwards.In this method we are putting the first number into DE register pair. The actual number is placed at E register, and D is holding 00H. The second ... Read More

Now let us see a program of Intel 8085 Microprocessor. In this program we will see how to add the contents of N word locations.Problem Statement:Write 8085 Assembly language program to add N 16-bit numbers stored into memoryDiscussion:The 16-bit numbers are stored into memory location 8001H onwards. The value of N is stored at location 8000H. After addition, the result will be stored at location 8050H onwards.In 8085 we have few number of registers. So we are storing the count into memory, when we need to update it, we will fetch it from memory, update it and then again store ... Read More

Now let us see a program of Intel 8085 Microprocessor. In this program we will see how to sort a sequence of numbers in reverse order using selection sort.Problem Statement:Write 8085 Assembly language program to sort a given sequence using selection sort in descending order. The numbers are stored at 8001H onwards. 8000H is holding the block size.Discussion:In the selection sorting technique, we will choose the minimum or the maximum term from a set of numbers. In this case we are considering the sorting in descending order, so we are choosing the maximum number. By taking the maximum number, we ... Read More

Now let us see a program of Intel 8085 Microprocessor. In this program we will see how to sort a sequence of numbers using selection sort.Problem Statement:Write 8085 Assembly language program to sort a given sequence using selection sort in ascending order. The numbers are stored at 8001H onwards. 8000H is holding the block size.Discussion:In the selection sorting technique, we will choose the minimum or the maximum term from a set of numbers. In this case we are considering the sorting in ascending order, so we are choosing the minimum number. By taking the minimum number, we are swapping it ... Read More
