The monitor moves on apace.
Firstly the quiz question.
The problem was I had SIO working backwards. Instead
of reading into bit 0, shifting the others left, and outputting bit 7, it works
the other way round – bit 7 is the input bit, bit 0 goes to the SOUT latch and
the data is shifted right.
So LDI 0x80 ; XAE ; SIO which is supposed to set the SOUT
Flag (this is the start bit) wouldn’t do anything (well, it would clear SOUT….
which is connected to Bit 0)
Anyway, that is fixed and I have written the bulk of the
arithmetic routines – addition and subtraction (easy) , multiplication (bit
harder) and division (messy). I
prototyped them in python, this should be in the documents directory.
The missing bits ; division is unsigned at the moment and
doesn’t test for division by zero.
I’ve got about 364 bytes left, plus some set-up-to-test code
so its probably about 400 bytes or so, so looks like most of the goodies are
going to fit. I might look at other mathematical operations.
We shall see.
