A design of structured microassembler for microprogramming
마이크로프로그래밍을 위한 구조적 마이크로어셈블러 설계
Abstract
In this paper, a independent and structured microassembler was designed for easily changing the system design, and for designing various microarchitecture. When the designer's hardware and microprogramming process were made concurrently, it is needed to easily change or improve the instruction set and executable code format. But this type of developed environment requires a high const and a large software system. A proposed microassembler was designed so the designer directly defines the microinstruction set and format to be executed. And we implemented a module from each part of the software, so it is now possible to use practically and upgrade the function of each part, First, the symbol was separated from the assembler. And then microinstruction was copied into it. The microinstruction format was designed using the defined language that was designed for free microinstruction. This was implemented in an IBM-PC by using the C-language, FLEX,and BISON.
