    Assembly Program
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on programming a simple assembly program for the Tiva C MCU, which uses ARM architecture. The user seeks guidance on translating MSP430 assembly code into ARM assembly, specifically regarding the use of directives like ORG, RESET, and END. A suggestion is made to consult the ARM programmer's reference manual to understand the architecture's specifics, including register and memory handling. An example code link is provided to illustrate a simple ARM assembly program compatible with the Tiva C Launchpad. Understanding the differences in architecture is emphasized as crucial for successful programming.

Hey guys!

I just got a new Tiva C MCU. It's architecture is ARM, and I have no experience programming in assembly using said architecture. To start, I'm trying to run a simple program that puts a value in a register. In an MSP430, the project I'm trying to do would look something like this:

Code:
#include 	"msp430.h"
;---------------------------------------
	ORG	0f800h	; Program Start
;---------------------------------------
RESET 	mov 	#0280h,SP	; Stack Pointer Initialized
StopWDT	mov	#WDTPW+WDTHOLD,&WDTCTL	; Stop WDT

	mov	#5, R15	; Delay to R15z

	ORG	0FFFEh		; MSP430 RESET Vector
	END

Would somebody be kind enough to show me the code of how to write this in ARM architecture (specially with the Tiva C series Launchpad)? I think I know how to write the mov, but the other parts (such as the ORG, RESET, and END) don't seem to work the same way that they do in the MSP.

Thank you all very much!

I can't help you, but you need to read the ARM programmers reference manual so that you understand the register/memory/alu architecture. Also, the branch instructions, how you test alu results, etc. Every processor is different.
 
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
