Software Resources

This page gives pointers to software used in the course.

Terminal Emulators

Terminal emulators are used to provide a text interface to a serial port.

as6811 Assembler

We will use the open-source as6811 assembler, which is part of the larger “asxxxx” package distributed by Alan R. Baldwin of Kent State University, Ohio. The main site for the assembler is http://shop-pdp.kent.edu/ashtml/asxxxx.htm, which, scarily enough, is an ancient DEC PDP-11 with 2 megs of RAM and 320 MB hard drive. As you might expect, it's a bit slow, so you may want to grab the software from our local copy here at UML.

• asmlnk.doc, the assembler documentation
• as6811.exe, binary for Windows
• full distribution including sources, 3.9 MB zip file, includes Linux binaries
