; DATATRANSFER.asm - Basic Data Transfer Operations Demonstration
; ========================================================================================
; This program demonstrates various ways to transfer immediate data into ARM registers
; using different number formats (decimal, hexadecimal, binary, and negative values).
; The program loads different types of immediate values into registers R0-R5 to show
; the flexibility of ARM's MOV instruction for data transfer operations.
AREA RESET,DATA,READONLY ; Define a read-only data section for the vector table
EXPORT __Vectors ; Export the vector table for external linking
__Vectors ; Start of the vector table
DCD 0x10001000 ; Stack pointer initial value (points to top of stack)
DCD Reset_Handler ; Address of the reset handler (program entry point)
ALIGN ; Ensure proper alignment for the next section
AREA mycode, CODE, READONLY ; Define the code section as read-only
ENTRY ; Mark the entry point of the program
EXPORT Reset_Handler ; Export the reset handler function
Reset_Handler ; Main program starts here
; Step 1: Load decimal immediate value
; MOV instruction transfers immediate data (value 10) into register R0
; This demonstrates basic decimal number loading
MOV R0,#10 ; R0 = 10 (decimal)
; Step 2: Load hexadecimal immediate value
; Load hexadecimal value 0x10 (16 decimal) into register R1
; Shows how hexadecimal values are represented in assembly
MOV R1, #0x10 ; R1 = 0x10 (16 decimal)
; Step 3: Load binary immediate value
; Load binary value 1010 (which equals 10 decimal) into register R3
; The '2_' prefix indicates binary notation in ARM assembly
MOV R3, #2_1010 ; R3 = 2_1010 (10 decimal in binary)
; Step 4: Load another decimal immediate value
; Load decimal value 34 into register R4
; The '5_' prefix indicates decimal notation (though redundant here)
MOV R4, #5_34 ; R4 = 34 (decimal)
; Step 5: Load negative immediate value
; Load negative value -8 into register R5
; Demonstrates how negative numbers are handled in immediate loads
MOV R5, #-8 ; R5 = -8 (negative value)
; Step 6: Program termination
; Create an infinite loop to stop program execution
; This prevents the processor from executing undefined instructions
STOP
B STOP ; Branch to STOP label (infinite loop)
END ; End of the assembly program
