Learning ADSP Programming

Started by Appalayagari Sreedhar February 19, 2004

Respected All.

I am a New member of this group.

I started reading the sharc 21266 ADSP Processor. I want to learn how to do programming in assembly. will i get any references in any website regarding the small small programs which will familarize me with the assembly instructions, and help me to improve myself in programming in assembly.

Thanks in advance.

regards, Sreedhar

There are 2 levels you need to worry about. The upper level is the
assembler commands - what you need to put where to get code segments
loaded correctly. The lower level are the instructions themselves.

ADI has an Assembler and Linker manual which is worth reading. But
a few examples are also a good idea. I'll be happy to send you some
examples, but it will be another 12 hours before I can get to it.
If I don't send anything in the next day, send me a message and remind
me!

I haven't worked with the SHARC but the first thing one should do is
get a grasp of the architecture from the hardware manual. After you
got the just of the hardware quirks then go through the instruction
set manual.

Search the for Sharc Navigator which is a tutorial of the 2106x
architecture with assembly examples.

Here's one link to it....
