Assembly in ARM Devices

[Nathan Campos]

Hello,
I'm really starting in Assembly, but i want to know if it's possible to develop for ARM devices like those who run Windows CE, because i have an Jornada 720 and i want to develop to it, i'm already a Java developer, but Assembly will be another language that i want to learn.

Thanks,
Nathan Paulino Campos

I heard about ARMASM, someone knows if it uses 8086 microprocessor Nasm Assembly language?

Thanks!

[Nathan Campos]

It uses as compiler Narm, that is a port of Nasm to ARM devices.

Here is a sample Hello World for Narm:

	SECTION .text
EXTERN  __gccmain
EXTERN  printf

	SECTION .data

	SECTION .rodata

LC0	DCB "Hello World",0x0A,0x00
	
	SECTION .text

	GLOBAL	main

main:
	mov	ip, sp
	stmfd	sp!, {fp, ip, lr, pc}
	sub	fp, ip, #4
	bl	__gccmain
	ldr	r0, L4
	bl	printf
	b	L3
L4:
	DCD	LC0
L3:
	ldmea	fp, {fp, sp, pc}

	END

And here is the link to the project home page: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Hub/6461/arm/
Let's do some copies of this sites that we like and are no more maintained in Geocities, because it will be discontinued by Yahoo, i was doing some sites downloads to archive.

Thanks!

Well finally a processor I'm not familiar with.
Not 80x86 unless its been macroized as assembly.

Is a bit similar looking to MIPS.

[Nathan Campos]

Thanks wildgoose, i will find some more resources about it!
Thanks!

No it cant use 8086 NASM as ARM aasembly instructions are somewhat different. Also the opcodes will be different for instructions even if looking same.

Thanks,
Suvrat.
