The 34000 Assembler

Just as the WC34000 computer supports a subset of the features of the 68000, the assembler provided for the 34000 supports a subset of the language accepted by the 68000 assembler on the Mac. This document describes the language accepted by the 34000 assembler and explains how to use the assembler.

This document is divided into four main sections:

Using the Assembler
Describes how to run the assembler from the Unix shell.
Instruction Format
Discusses the format used to describe machine instructions within an assembler source file.
Operand Format
Presents the forms of operand specifications supported by the assembler.
Directives
Explains the directives available to control the behavior of the assembler and to support source level debugging of code produced by a compiler.
In addition, to clarify the description of the language accepted by the 34000 assembler a sample program is included.
