AS6808 Assembler

PROCESSOR SPECIFIC DIRECTIVES 


   The MC68HC(S)08 processor is a superset of the MC6805 proces-
sors.  The AS6808 assembler supports the HC08, HCS08, 6805,  and
HC05 cores.  


.hc08 Directive 

Format:  

        .hc08 

The .hc08 directive enables processing of only the HC08 specific
mnemonics.  6805/HC05/HCS08 mnemonics  encountered  without  the
.hc08 directive will be flagged with an <o> error.  

   The  .hc08  directive  also  selects the HC08 specific cycles
count output when the -c command line option is specified.  


.hcs08 Directive 

Format:  

        .hcs08 

The  .hcs08  directive  enables processing of the HCS08 specific
mnemonics.  

   The  .hcs08  directive also selects the HCS08 specific cycles
count to be output.


.6805 Directive 

Format:  

        .6805 

The  .6805  directive  enables  processing of only the 6805/HC05
specific mnemonics.  HC08/HCS08  mnemonics  encountered  without
the .hc08/.hcs08 directives will be flagged with an <o> error.  

   The  .6805  directive also selects the MC6805 specific cycles
count to be output. 


.hc05 Directive 

Format:  

        .hc05 

The  .hc05  directive  enables  processing of only the 6805/HC05
specific mnemonics.  HC08/HCS08  mnemonics  encountered  without
the .hc08/.hcs08 directives will be flagged with an <o> error.  

   The .hc05 directive also selects the MC68HC05/146805 specific
cycles count to be output.


The .__.CPU.  Variable 

   The value of the pre-defined symbol '.__.CPU.' corresponds to
the selected processor type.  The default value is 0 which  cor-
responds  to  the  default  processor type.  The following table
lists the processor types and associated values for  the  AS6808
assembler:  

        Processor Type            .__.CPU. Value
        --------------            --------------
            .hc08                        0
            .hcs08                       1
            .6805                        2
            .hc05                        3


   The  variable  '.__.CPU.'  is by default defined as local and
will not be output to the created .rel file.  The assembler com-
mand line options -g or -a will not cause the local symbol to be
output to the created .rel file.  

   The  assembler  .globl  directive  may  be used to change the
variable type to global causing its definition to be  output  to
the  .rel file.  The inclusion of the definition of the variable
'.__.CPU.' might be a useful means of validating that seperately
assembled  files have been compiled for the same processor type.
The linker will report an error for variables with multiple  non
equal definitions.  


68HC(S)08 REGISTER SET 

The  following  is  a  list  of  the  68HC(S)08  registers  used
by AS6808:  

        a       -       8-bit accumulator
        x       -       index register  <H:X>
        s       -       stack pointer


68HC(S)08 INSTRUCTION SET 


   The  following tables list all 68HC(S)08 mnemonics recognized
by the AS6808 assembler.  The designation [] refers to a required
addressing  mode  argument.   The  following  list specifies the
format for each addressing mode supported by AS6808:  

        #data           immediate data
                        byte or word data

        *dir            direct page addressing
                        (see .setdp directive)
                        0 <= dir <= 255 

        ,x              register indexed addressing
                        zero offset

        offset,x        register indexed addressing
                          0 <= offset <= 255   --- byte mode
                        256 <= offset <= 65535 --- word mode
                        (an externally defined offset uses the
                         word mode)

        ,x+             register indexed addressing
                        zero offset with post increment

        offset,x+       register indexed addressing
                        unsigned byte offset with post increment

        offset,s        stack pointer indexed addressing
                          0 <= offset <= 255   --- byte mode
                        256 <= offset <= 65535 --- word mode
                        (an externally defined offset uses the
                         word mode)

        ext             extended addressing

        label           branch label

The terms data, dir, offset, and ext may all be expressions.  

   Note  that  not all addressing modes are valid with every in-
struction, refer to the 68HC(S)08 technical data for valid modes.
