Started by anish n February 26, 2006
 Hi, 
 
 i am doing a project on LPC2138, we have to code in assembly.
 could any one please tell me a good assembly tutorial or some sort of
 link for that ?
 is there any linux program to upload the program to lpc2138 ???
 thanks in advance 
 bye

	for tools and good infos to work with LPC on Linux, have a look here :

The only open source assembler I know of is the GNU "as" assembler
(also called "gas"). This uses the standard GNU syntax, which is a
cross-platform standard used for many target processors, but
unfortunately, it does not use the ARM standard syntax you typically
find with commercial ARM assemblers.
 
If anyone knows of a different open source assembler, please tell me
about it!

Their are a number of good commercial assemblers, but I'd probably
recommend the one that comes with IAR Embedded Workbench. Their free
version has a 32K limited C compiler, but their assembler does not
have a code size limit as I understand it, and their CSPY debugger
works with assembler code, also.

For a tutorial on how to code in assembler for the ARM you can
download the "ARM ARM" (the ARM Architecture Reference manual). I
think you can get this from arm.com, or order a hardcopy from amazon.com.

lpc21isp is a fine open source program that can do this. Join this
yahoo group and go to their files section:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lpc21isp/

I forgot to mention that this is the only assembler I know of that
works on linux. IAR EW may work under WINE, but I don't know for sure.

My only complaint about gas is the syntax. It does work well. We've
discussed the possibility of writing a translator that could take an
ARM standard syntax assembly file and convert it to the gas syntax for
actual assembly. But nobody has expressed a desire to write the
program :-(
