Struggling with ASM
« on: March 09, 2014, 07:48:29 am »
HI guys, I'm trying to learn ASM and I have a little problem : It I get a TLB eror when  the program seems to access to LTORG content.


I'm using Macro AS because I'm getting fed with FX SDK, and here is the source code I did :
Code: [Select]

   CPU SH7700
   LISTING ON
   SEGMENT code


;Syscall macro
syscall   macro   op
   MOV.L    op, R0;
   MOV.L    scall_table, R2;
   JMP @R2
   NOP
   endm


main:
   ;STS.L       PR,@-R15; I got this idea when reading FX SDK listings.
   MOV.W    #5, R4; Trying to give as argument id = 5 to DisplayErrorMessage
   syscall scall_DislayErrorMessage; Should print an error message
   NOP
   ; Stop? I don't really know how to stop that.
   ;LDS.L       @R15+,PR
   MOV      #1, R0
   RTS
   NOP; By here it should have stopped
   LTORG; But he goes on further


;Data
; It doens't accept SEGMENT DATA
String                  dc.B "Hello World!\0"; And crashes here accroding to the listing
   ALIGN 4
;syscalls
scall_Print_OS            dc.L $013c
   ALIGN 4
scall_DislayErrorMessage   dc.L $0954
   ALIGN 4
scall_table               dc.L $80010070


WIth tha code, I have a TLB error with TARGET 0x12 (?) and PC = 0x1E (in the Hello world string Oo). Why?


Addendum : I chose to not use FX SDK because I don't know how to include properly ASM. Do you have any good idea/methods?

You can include any asm function in a C program when you export it with a function name _FuncName

Here is a small asm-only program:

Code: [Select]
        .INCLUDE "syscall.inc"

        .MACRO SC SysCall
        mov.l   #\SysCall, r0
        mov.l   #JumpTableTop, r2
        jsr     @r2
        nop
        .ENDM

        .EXPORT _BR_Size
        .EXPORT _AddIn_main
        .SECTION P, CODE, ALIGN=4

_AddIn_main:
        SC      Bdisp_AllClr_VRAM
        mov     #5, r4                  ; col
        mov     #3, r5                  ; row
        SC      locate
        mov.l   #text, r4               ; str
        mov     #1, r5                  ; mode
        SC      Print

loop:
        mov.l   #key, r4                ; key
        SC      GetKey
        bra     loop
        nop

        rts
        nop

        .SECTION C, DATA, ALIGN=4
text        .SDATAZ "Hello, world!"

        .SECTION B, DATA, ALIGN=4
_BR_Size    .RES.L  1
key         .RES.L  1

        .END

Code: [Select]
JumpTableTop            .EQU    h'80010070

Print                   .EQU    h'013C
Bdisp_AllClr_VRAM       .EQU    h'0143
locate                  .EQU    h'0807
GetKey                  .EQU    h'090F

Ok, how can I call C functions from an assembler file? .INCLUDE "header.h" won't work because syntax is way too different.

.IMPORT _FuncName should do it.

Refer to section "9.3.2 Function Calling Interface" in the SHC manual.
The SDK manuals are available as a separate download at edu.casio.com

Well, you'll need to understand the calling (parameter passing) convention for that compiler. Then it should be straightforward.  More, see wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calling_convention

so, according to wikipedia:
R0..R3 are temporary variables
R4..R7 are arguments
R8..R14 are variables that must be preserved
R15 is the stack pointer

SH3's assembly looks a lot like M68K's
however, the parameter passing conventions aren't the same
page 200 of the Renesas compiler documentation gives an example of the structure of a function and a function call.

Must be preserved, or are automatically preserved by the processor already? I think I'm getting the handle, except the fact I get a warning about an illegal displacement here
Code: [Select]
MOV.L @(2,R15), R4and wrong mnemonic with using a macro
Code: [Select]
   .MACRO FIX Rd
   SHLR8 \Rd
   SHLR4 \Rd
   SHLL \Rd
   .ENDM

...
   FIX   R10            ; FIX(pz) -> pz // And here goes the mnemonic error



And yipee, gotta read a cr*pload of books! yay :|

they must be preserved, which means that the context before a function call and after a function call must have the same values for these registers.
so basically you have to save them to the stack when you use them in a function.

Yeah, I thought so. Yeah, refactor.
