Assembler

This page will go over the program assembler for my cpu design in more detail.

/Assembler features:

• Comments
• Comments are everything after on each line
• Variables
• Variables are words that start wtih a $
• If alone on a line (in which case the address is defined sequentially at the end of the program space)
• If followed with a number that line will be the memory address for that variable.
• Can be used as operands for any instruction.
• Labels
• Labels are words that start with a :
• Can be used as operands for any instruction.
• Instructions
• Instructions are the first non-whitespace non-reserved (not $ or :) words on a line.
• Operands are listed on the same line separated by whitespace.

Output is the verilog .mem format with one address per line starting at address 0 and increasing by one each line.

It also outputs a .dbg file which has extra columns for the memory address, memory value, where each instruction ended up, and where the labels are used.

The US needs to spend less on defense and more on offense. We need to score some points.
