3: Getting Started with Assembly Language Programming

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Chapter 3 Getting Started with Assembly Language Programming

The first step in learning any new language is being able to create a working template program in that language, then creating a program to read input and produce output. Being able to produce I/O necessary to be able to tell if a program is working, so a properly working I/O program forms the basis for being able to implement for larger and more complex programs. This I/O program is often called a “Hello World” program, and the purpose of this chapter is to create this first program. This will involve the following steps:

  1. creating a template file that can be used as a starting point for any program the user will create
  2. writing assembly language source files using printf and scanf for a program to read input and print output for a program
  3. using an assembler and linker to translate their source programs into ARM executable programs
  4. running the programs from a shell command
  5. finally, using the gbdtui to view the program execution and state
