Question 1 (10 points)

Consider the following 8-bit addition (assume registers are 8 bits wide)
Load 0x40 into R1
Load 0x4B into R2
Add R3 = R1+R2
a. What will be the 8-bit result in Register R3 (in hex)?
0x8B0x8B
b. What is 8-bit result in Register R3 (as unsigned decimal)?

139128+11=139
c. What is 8-bit result in Register R3 (as signed decimal)?
-117-128+11= -117
d. What will be the value of the carry (C) bit?

0answer is correct, C=0
e. What will be the value of the carry (V) bit?

1 answer is incorrect, V=1
Question 2 (10 points).

Interface the LED to PE0 using negative logic. The desired LED operating point is 1.8V at 1.2 mA.
The output voltage VOL of the microcontroller is 0.5 V. You may also use 3.3 power and ground, as
you need them. Show the equation used to calculate the resistor value and the circuit diagram showing
the connections.
3.3V ---R---LED---PE0,
R = (3.3-1.8-0.5)/1.2mA = (1.5-0.5)/1.2mA =(1V)/1.2mA = 833 ohms
LM3S/LM4F
PE0
Question 3
Part a) (10 points). Write an assembly subroutine, called ROL, that rotates a 32-bit number given in
R1 a number of times given in R2. That is, the input is passed by value in Registers R1 and R2, and the
output is returned in Register R3. You may use Registers R3 and R12 as scratch registers without
saving and restoring them. Notice that rotating an n-bit number k places to the left is the same as
rotating it n-k places to the right. (Check the ROR instruction)
;---------- ROL -------

; Inputs: R1 has number to rotate; R2 has places to rotate
; Output: R3 has result (R1 rotated left R2 places)
ROL
MOV R3,#32
SUB R3,R3,R2 ;32-R2
ROR R1, R1, R3 ; rotate right
BX LR
ROR R3,R1,R2 ;Rotate right R1 by R2 places
BX LR
Part b) (5 points). What specific modifications must be done to the subroutine in part (a) so that the
subroutine is AAPCS compliant?
; Inputs: R0 has number to rotate; R1 has places to rotate
; Output: R0 has result (R0 rotated left R1 places)
ROL MOV R3,#32
SUB R3,R3,R1 ;32-R1
ROR R0, R0, R3 ; rotate right
BX LR
ROL

Assume the stack pointer (SP) is initialized to 0x2000.0408. Registers R0, R1, R2 and R12 are
initialized to 12, 3, 8 and 5 respectively. Answer the following:
Part a) Show is the content of the stack and the SP after the following sequence of operations:
PUSH {R0}
PUSH {R1-R2}
PUSH {R12}

0x200003FC 3
0x20000400 8
0x20000404 12
0x20000408
0x2000040C
Part b) Given the state of the stack after part a), show the content of the stack, the SP and registers R3,
R4 after the following operation:
POP {R3-R4}
0x200003F4
0x200003F8 5
0x200003FC 3
SP-> 0x20000400 8
0x20000404 12
0x20000408
0x2000040C
R3: 5 R4: 3
Part c) Given the state of the stack after part b), show the content of the stack, the SP and registers R0-
R3 after the following operation:
PUSH {R0-R1}
POP {R0-R3}
0x200003F4
0x200003F8 12
0x200003FC 3
0x20000400 8
0x20000404 12
SP-> 0x20000408
0x2000040C
R0: 12 R1: 3 R2: 8 R3: 12


You may use the following definitions or add others if you need. Bit-specific addressing is allowed but
not required (use the dashed block below to make declarations for bit-specific addressing if needed)
#define GPIO_PORTB_DATA_R (*((volatile unsigned long *)0x400053FC))
#define GPIO_PORTB_DIR_R (*((volatile unsigned long *)0x40005400))
#define GPIO_PORTB_AFSEL_R (*((volatile unsigned long *)0x40005420))
#define GPIO_PORTB_DEN_R (*((volatile unsigned long *)0x4000551C))
#define SYSCTL_RCGCGPIO_R (*((volatile unsigned long *)0x400FE608))
#define SYSCTL_RCGCPGIO_GPIOB 0x00000002 // port B Clock Gating Control
Part (a) Write a C function Init that initializes Port B, pins 0 and 7 as outputs, and pins 3 and 4 are
to be made input. (Ignore pull-up, pull-down resistors or high-amp drivers for outputs).
//Initializes GPIO port B with pins 0,7 as outputs and pins 3,4 as inputs
void Init(void) {
SYSCTL_RCGCGPIO_R |= SYSCTL_RCGCGPIO_GPIOB; //Enable Clock
GPIO_PORTB_DIR_R |= 0x81; //pins 0,7 are output
GPIO_PORTB_DIR_R &= ~0x18; //pins 3,4 are input
GPIO_PORTB_AFSEL_R &= ~0x99; // Regular function
GPIO_PORTB_DEN_R |= 0x99; // Enable 0,3,4 and 7 pins
Part b) Assume the initialization in part a) has been executed. Write C function that toggles PB0 and
PB7 only when both inputs PB3 and PB4 are high. Otherwise PB0, PB7 are both off.
//Checks if both PB3 and PB4 are high and only then toggles PB0 and PB7
// otherwise turns both off.
void doIt(void) {
if((GPIO_PORTB_DATA_R & 0x18) == 0x18) {
GPIO_PORTB_DATA_R ^= 0x81;
} else {
GPIO_PORTB_DATA_R &= ~0x81;
}
}
