| risc v assembly language: RISC-V Assembly Language Programming Yury Magda, 2024-08-08 This book is designed to be your comprehensive guide to learning RISC-V assembly programming by example. Whether you are a novice programmer stepping into the world of assembly language for the first time or an experienced developer looking to expand your skills into the RISC-V architecture, this book provides a thorough, hands-on approach to mastering this versatile instruction set. RISC-V (Reduced Instruction Set Computer - V) is an open-source instruction set architecture (ISA) that has been gaining significant traction in both academic and industrial circles. Its simplicity, modularity, and extensibility make it an ideal platform for education, research, and a wide range of applications. Unlike proprietary ISAs, RISC-V is free and open, allowing anyone to study, modify, and implement it, fostering innovation and collaboration across the global computing community. In all examples from this book, we use RV32 which is a 32-bit subset of the RISC-V architecture, designed for applications that require 32-bit addressing and operations. Why Assembly Language? Assembly language provides a clear view of what is happening at the hardware level, giving you ultimate control over your program's execution. By learning assembly, you gain insight into how high-level languages are translated into machine code, enabling you to write more efficient and optimized code. Additionally, understanding assembly language is essential for tasks such as debugging, performance tuning, and developing system-level software. Programming is best learned by doing, and this book is designed with that philosophy in mind. Each chapter contains numerous code examples with detailed explanations accompany each example to ensure you understand the underlying concepts and techniques. This book assumes a basic understanding of computer programming and familiarity with fundamental concepts such as variables, loops, and functions. Prior experience with a high-level programming language like C or Python will be beneficial but is not strictly necessary. |

| risc v assembly language: The Art of Assembly Language, 2nd Edition Randall Hyde, 2010-03-01 Assembly is a low-level programming language that's one step above a computer's native machine language. Although assembly language is commonly used for writing device drivers, emulators, and video games, many programmers find its somewhat unfriendly syntax intimidating to learn and use. Since 1996, Randall Hyde's The Art of Assembly Language has provided a comprehensive, plain-English, and patient introduction to 32-bit x86 assembly for non-assembly programmers. Hyde's primary teaching tool, High Level Assembler (or HLA), incorporates many of the features found in high-level languages (like C, C++, and Java) to help you quickly grasp basic assembly concepts. HLA lets you write true low-level code while enjoying the benefits of high-level language programming. As you read The Art of Assembly Language, you'll learn the low-level theory fundamental to computer science and turn that understanding into real, functional code. You'll learn how to: –Edit, compile, and run HLA programs –Declare and use constants, scalar variables, pointers, arrays, structures, unions, and namespaces –Translate arithmetic expressions (integer and floating point) –Convert high-level control structures This much anticipated second edition of The Art of Assembly Language has been updated to reflect recent changes to HLA and to support Linux, Mac OS X, and FreeBSD. Whether you're new to programming or you have experience with high-level languages, The Art of Assembly Language, 2nd Edition is your essential guide to learning this complex, low-level language. |

| risc v assembly language: Assembly Language and Computer Architecture Using C++ and Java Anthony J Dos Reis, 2020-06-05 The objective of this book is to make it possible (and even easy) for students to master both assembly language and the fundamentals of computer architecture in a single semester. Integrating coverage of software and hardware throughout, the book uses H1--a simple, horizontally microprogrammed computer--as a unifying theme. Like all simple models, H1 has flaws, but this book puts these flaws to good use. In particular, in addition to showing students how H1 works and what is wrong with it, the book shows students how to fix it (which they then proceed to do). Students learn best by doing, and this book supplies much to do with various examples and projects to facilitate learning. For example, students not only use assemblers and linkers, they also write their own. Students not only study and use the provided instruction set but implement new, improved ones. The result is a book that is easy to read, engaging, and substantial. The software package for the book supports Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Raspbian. |
