Welcome

AS89LP Assembler


   The  AT89LP series of 8051 compatible microcontrollers incor-
porates a single cycle 8051 core.  The execution time  for  most
instructions equals the number of bytes in the instruction.  In-
structions that perform address calculations take  more  cycles.
Several members of the AT89LP series have enhancements which may
include the MAC AB, ASR M, LSL M, and CLR M  instructions  which
manipulate  the 40 bit multiply-accumulate register, a secondary
dptr register supporting an additional addressing  mode  to  the
INC, MOV, MOVC, and MOVX instructions, a new CJNE addressing op-
tion, a new jump indirect relative to PC addressing mode, and  a
BREAK instruction.  

PROCESSOR SPECIFIC DIRECTIVES 

.regbnk Directive 

   Format:  

        .regbnk 0, 1, 2, or 3 

The .regbnk directive informs the assembler about which register
bank (0-3) is currently being used.  This  effects  instructions
like PUSH R0-R7 and POP R0-R7 where the register bank is encoded
into the instruction.  


   The  AS89LP  assembler  supports many of the AT89LP microcon-
trollers natively.  The  following  table  lists  the  processor
directive,      the     supported     processor,     and     the
'Special Function Register', SFR, file that should  be  included
in a project to define the SFR registers.

   Including  the  particular  processor  sfr  file  invokes the
appropriate processor type directive and defines the SFR values. 


The .__.CPU. and .__.$$$. Variables 

   The  assembler  variable  .__.CPU.   is  set  to indicate the
specific processor selected.  The variable  .__.$$$.   indicates
the  specific  extended  instructions  supported by the selected
processor.  The encoding for .__.$$$.  is:  

        Bit 0   MAC AB / CLR M / ASR M / LSL M
        Bit 1   /DPTR modes for INC, MOV, MOVC, and MOVX
        Bit 2   JMP @A+PC
        Bit 3   CJNE A,@R0,rel / CJNE A,@R1,rel
        Bit 4   BREAK

   The  variables  '.__.CPU.'  and '.__.$$$.' are by default de-
fined as local and will not be output to the created .rel  file.
The  assembler  command line options -g or -a will not cause the
local symbols 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 variables
'.__.CPU.' and '.__.$$$.' might be a useful means of  validating
that  separately assembled files have been compiled for the same
processor type or have the  same  instruction  extensions.   The
linker  will  report  an  error  for variables with multiple non
equal definitions.

THE MACRO LIBRARY 

   The Macro Library is a collection of macros to perform opera-
tions involving the multiple address spaces of 8051 type proces-
sors.   A  summary of the macro library is included here.  Refer
to the file macros.asm for a complete description of  the  macro
functions.
