I am new in assembly language I don't no where to start i have spent many time searching in google but I did not find excellent tutorial I am confused
I want to link where i can learn step by step with sample code
before going to program I want make algorithm please help me to make algorithm 8051


LABLE start end main org, setb, seta , delay
PORT port for input and output
PIN set pin for logic 0 or logic 1
INSTRUCTION SET mov add sub

tell me what i do next
 
There are several tutorials for the Microchip devices, including one by Nigel Goodwin, who is a supermoderator for this site. Here's a short list:
http://winpicprog.co.uk/pic_tutorial.htm
http://www.gooligum.com.au/tutorials.html

Although those are directed for a different line of chips, you may find their approach useful.

I just searched on Google for "8051 assembly language tutorial" and got dozens of hits. Maybe there is something not working in your version of Google.

**broken link removed**

Not quite sure what you mean by "algorithm" in the context of your question. Aren't your last 4 lines an algorithm of sorts?

Here on this forum.... Jon Wilder and myself have used the assembly on the 8051 extensively..

If you look through this 8051 forum you'll find loads of examples that we have posted.. If you download MCU51IDE
http://mcu8051ide.sourceforge.net/ We can get you started... Loads on this site to look at...

hello IAN Rogers thanks for response I have read your old post (wish to learn microcontroller) your explanation was very good I am facing some problem can you help
I want to learn how to write statement for input output port and statement how to set pin as high or low
 
Hola Vead,

I do not intend to show this as difficult but be aware that not only you have to write code. Before that, you should set (configurate) the different options telling how the micro would work.

It took me quite some time to learn that. Writing code then, was simple. Go as per the datasheet. You hardly could fail if so.

No matter what micro, you should start with all peripherics disabled what usually, seems to be the natural condition of most of micros (check the datasheet for details).

Good luck.
 
Code:
    org     0000h        ; Reset vector.
    sjmp    start        ; Jump over vector space.
    org    030h   

start:                ; This will be assembled at 0x30.
    setb    p2.1        ; Set Port 2 pin 2 to ON. (input)
    setb    p2.0        ; Set Port 2 pin 1 to ON. (input)

while:
    setb    p3.6        ; Set Port 3 pin 7 to ON.
    acall    delay        ; Wait a while
    clr    p3.6        ; Set Port 3 pin 7 to OFF.
    acall    delay
    jb    p2.1,toggle    ; Jump if Port 2 pin 2 is high
    sjmp    while        ; Or go back to LABEL (while)
toggle:
    mov    a,R2        ; Load acumulator with value in R2
    jnz    turnon        ; Has it overflowed.. Turn on
    inc    R2        ; NO!! increment R2
    setb    p3.7        ; Set Port 3 pin 8 to ON.
    sjmp    while        ; end while
turnon:   
    dec    R2        ; Decrease R2   
    clr    p3.7        ; Set Port 3 pin 8 to OFF.
    sjmp    while        ; end while
delay:
    mov    R1, #0dh        ; Small delay routine
loop:    djnz    R1, loop
    ret
end

This program has a good number of commands.. I have commented as best I can..

I have done some homework for my basic understanding
I am using 8051 mcu and want to learn assembly
org statement
org 0000h start at 0 location
statement for port
MOV P0, #FFH ; PORT FOR INPUT
MOV P1, #00H ; PORT FOR OUTPUT

STATEMENT FOR PIN
SETB P0, 11111111 ; ALL PINS ARE HIGH
CLR P1, 00000000 ; ALL PINS ARE LOW

if i am wrong please correct me
 
The 8051/2 input/output doesn't work like any other chips.... They haven't got tri-state logic..

If you need to read ANY pin all you need to do is set it HIGH.. If you need to output, then no action is needed..

The issue is on the data latch if you set the output pin LOW, forget, then read the pin then you have a ground potential and if you read a high on that pin !!!!sizzle!!!. It's good practice to keep them HIGH if possible when not bieng used as outputs...

Your statements are correct..
 
STATEMENT FOR PIN
SETB P0, 11111111 ; ALL PINS ARE HIGH
CLR P1, 00000000 ; ALL PINS ARE LOW

I think you mean
"SETB P0,#11111111b" which is wrong, setb is used only for setting a single bit like
SETB P0.1 ;set port 0, bit 1
SETB P1.2 ;set port 1, bit 2.

If you want to set the whole port to %11111111 then you have to use
MOV P0,#0FFH ;# means that the number that follows is a literal or numeric constant.

Same goes for CLR P1,00000000 as CLR can be
CLR A ;Acc=0
CLR C ;Carry=0
CLR bit ;as in CLR P1.2

Whoops.... Thanks Allen.... Missed that...

ok now I want to write statement for delay
turn on LED
wait 30 ms
turn off LED
how to write statement for DELAY ?
i am trying

ORG OOOOOO
SETB P0.1 ;set port 1, bit 1 LED TURN ON
ACALL DELAY ; WAIT FOR 30MS
SETB P0.1 ;set port 0, bit 2. LED TURN OFF

If you look at the code I posted the delay is for 13 iterations of 2uS (two commands) 26uS

If you load R1 with 0 then you'll get 256 iterations or 512uS ( half a milli second )
So using a second register R2 we can pre-set the register with 60 and get somewhere near...

i am confused i don't know what are you trying to say. why we use resistor R1 R2 for delay

R1 and R2 are registers within the 8051 ... We load them with initial values then let them count down to generate the desired delay..
 
i am confused i don't know what are you trying to say. why we use resistor R1 R2 for delay

Code:
delay:
        mov    R1, #0dh            ; R1=13 so it delays 13*2=26uS
loop:  djnz  R1, loop        ; 2uS per loop
        ret
end

delay512:
    mov    R1,#00
loop1:    djnz    R1, loop1    ; 2uS per loop
    ret            ; 2uS*256 = 512uS delay
end

delay30mS:
    mov    R2, #60        ; 60*(256*2)=30mS
loop2a:    mov    R1, #00        ; 256*2=512uS
loop2b:    djnz    R1, loop2b    ; 2uS per loop
    djnz    R2, loop2a
    ret            ;
end

The first "Delay" is the orginal code posted by Ian. As #0dh is decimal 13, and each djnz loop would used up 2uS assuming the xtal frequency is 12MHz. So the total delay is approimately 26uS.

In "Delay512" if you change R1 value to #00, then it would loop 256 times giving a total of 512 uS.

In "delay30mS" another register R2 is being introduced. It holds a value of dec 60 and goes into the delay512 loop 60 times giving a total of 60*512uS = 30mS.

Hope that helps.

i am heartly saying thanks for both Ian and Allen you have done grate help for me I want continue this thread if you don't mind I want to learn more about assembly language
now I know how to write statement for port , pin and delay
next topic I want to know arithmetic instruction ADD SUB MUL DIV I know add instruction used for addition for two bits or byte
but i want to know how and when we need this instruction in project IF you can explain with example its grate for me
 
The best way to learn asm language is to practice it as much as possible and also study how other programmers wrote their programs. It's like doing Maths: practice make perfect. Instead of we here doing the examples for you, why not you try your best to write 2 simple programs that uses Add, Sub, Mult instructions as the assignments given below?

1. Write an assembly program that would add the first 10 term of odd numbers from 1 to 20. i.e. 1+3+5+7+...+19, and store the sum in a variable called "SUM".

2. Write a program in assembly that would multiply 12 by 12 without using the "MUL" instruction. Store the answer in a cariable called "product".
