If the architecture is 430Xv2 then this also enables NOP generation unless the @option{-mN} is also specified. @item -mcpu selects the cpu architecture. If the architecture is 430Xv2 then this also enables NOP generation unless the @option{-mN} is also specified. @item -mP enables polymorph instructions handler. @item -mQ enables relaxation at assembly time. DANGEROUS! @item -ml indicates that the input uses the large code model. @item -mn enables the generation of a NOP instruction following any instruction that might change the interrupts enabled/disabled state. The pipelined nature of the MSP430 core means that any instruction that changes the interrupt state (@code{EINT}, @code{DINT}, @code{BIC #8, SR}, @code{BIS #8, SR} or @code{MOV.W <>, SR}) must be followed by a NOP instruction in order to ensure the correct processing of interrupts. By default it is up to the programmer to supply these NOP instructions, but this command line option enables the automatic insertion by the assembler, if they are missing. @item -mN disables the generation of a NOP instruction following any instruction that might change the interrupts enabled/disabled state. This is the default behaviour. @item -mz tells the assembler to generate a warning message if a NOP does not immediately forllow an instruction that enables or disables interrupts. This is the default. Note that this option can be stacked with the @option{-mn} option so that the assembler will both warn about missing NOP instructions and then insert them automatically. @item -mZ disables warnings about missing NOP instructions. @item -md mark the object file as one that requires data to copied from ROM to RAM at execution startup. Disabled by default. @end table @node MSP430 Syntax @section Syntax @menu * MSP430-Macros:: Macros * MSP430-Chars:: Special Characters * MSP430-Regs:: Register Names * MSP430-Ext:: Assembler Extensions @end menu @node MSP430-Macros @subsection Macros @cindex Macros, MSP 430 @cindex MSP 430 macros The macro syntax used on the MSP 430 is like that described in the MSP 430 Family Assembler Specification. Normal @code{@value{AS}} macros should still work. Additional built-in macros are: @table @code @item llo(exp) Extracts least significant word from 32-bit expression 'exp'. @item lhi(exp) Extracts most significant word from 32-bit expression 'exp'. @item hlo(exp) Extracts 3rd word from 64-bit expression 'exp'. @item hhi(exp) Extracts 4rd word from 64-bit expression 'exp'. @end table They normally being used as an immediate source operand. @smallexample mov #llo(1), r10 ; == mov #1, r10 mov #lhi(1), r10 ; == mov #0, r10 @end smallexample @node MSP430-Chars @subsection Special Characters @cindex line comment character, MSP 430 @cindex MSP 430 line comment character A semicolon (@samp{;}) appearing anywhere on a line starts a comment that extends to the end of that line. If a @samp{#} appears as the first character of a line then the whole line is treated as a comment, but it can also be a logical line number directive (@pxref{Comments}) or a preprocessor control command (@pxref{Preprocessing}). @cindex line separator, MSP 430 @cindex statement separator, MSP 430 @cindex MSP 430 line separator Multiple statements can appear on the same line provided that they are separated by the @samp{@{} character. @cindex identifiers, MSP 430 @cindex MSP 430 identifiers The character @samp{$} in jump instructions indicates current location and implemented only for TI syntax compatibility. @node MSP430-Regs @subsection Register Names @cindex MSP 430 register names @cindex register names, MSP 430 General-purpose registers are represented by predefined symbols of the form @samp{r@var{N}} (for global registers), where @var{N} represents a number between @code{0} and @code{15}. The leading letters may be in either upper or lower case; for example, @samp{r13} and @samp{R7} are both valid register names. @cindex special purpose registers, MSP 430 Register names @samp{PC}, @samp{SP} and @samp{SR} cannot be used as register names and will be treated as variables. Use @samp{r0}, @samp{r1}, and @samp{r2} instead. @node MSP430-Ext @subsection Assembler Extensions @cindex MSP430 Assembler Extensions @table @code @item @@rN As destination operand being treated as @samp{0(rn)} @item 0(rN) As source operand being treated as @samp{@@rn} @item jCOND +N Skips next N bytes followed by jump instruction and equivalent to @samp{jCOND $+N+2} @end table Also, there are some instructions, which cannot be found in other assemblers.

The maximum symbol name length is 1023 characters. No relocation is created for this symbol; it will exist purely for pulling in object files from archives. Note that this reloc is not sufficient to prevent garbage collection; use a KEEP() directive in the linker file to preserve such objects. @end table @node MSP430 Opcodes @section Opcodes @cindex MSP 430 opcodes @cindex opcodes for MSP 430 @code{@value{AS}} implements all the standard MSP 430 opcodes. No additional pseudo-instructions are needed on this family.

Even more -- jtag hardware facility does not perform any profiling functions. However we've got gdb's built-in simulator where we can do anything. We define new section @samp{.profiler} which holds all profiling information. We define new pseudo operation @samp{.profiler} which will instruct assembler to add new profile entry to the object file. Profile should take place at the present address. Pseudo operation format: @samp{.profiler flags,function_to_profile [, cycle_corrector, extra]} where: @table @code @table @code @samp{flags} is a combination of the following characters: @item s function entry @item x function exit @item i function is in init section @item f function is in fini section @item l library call @item c libc standard call @item d stack value demand @item I interrupt service routine @item P prologue start @item p prologue end @item E epilogue start @item e epilogue end @item j long jump / sjlj unwind @item a an arbitrary code fragment @item t extra parameter saved (a constant value like frame size) @end table @item function_to_profile a function address @item cycle_corrector a value which should be added to the cycle counter, zero if omitted. @item extra any extra parameter, zero if omitted. @end table For example: @smallexample .global fxx .type fxx,@@function fxx: .LFrameOffset_fxx=0x08 .profiler "scdP", fxx ; function entry. ; we also demand stack value to be saved push r11 push r10 push r9 push r8 .profiler "cdpt",fxx,0, .LFrameOffset_fxx ; check stack value at this point ; (this is a prologue end) ; note, that spare var filled with ; the farme size mov r15,r8 ... .profiler cdE,fxx ; check stack pop r8 pop r9 pop r10 pop r11 .profiler xcde,fxx,3 ; exit adds 3 to the cycle counter ret ; cause 'ret' insn takes 3 cycles @end smallexample
