Microprocessor Buses • Address Bus • One way street over which microprocessor sends an address code to memory or other external drives. • Data Bus • Two way street which data or instruction codes are transferred into the microprocessor which result in operation or computation is sent into the microprocessor • Control Bus • Used by the microprocessor to coordinate its operations to communicate with external devices.
Microprocessor programming • Data Transfer • Arithmetic • Bit manipulation • Loops and jump • Strings • Subroutines and interrupts • Processor control
Terminologies • Assembly language - low level languages that can be translated into binary instructions. • Assembler- program converts the English like instructions • Mnemonics – converts into binary pattern • Compiler – translate the high level program statements into machine language
