Abstract

AbstractAssembly language programming has been for long used as a teaching tool for computer systems. However, this approach suffers from the difficulties that are inherent to its low‐level instructions. The present teaching approach merges the assembly language course with microcomputers technology by means of structured pseudo‐coding. The method is based on a classification of the assembly instructions in a novel inventory, which is subsequently used for the composition of the basic high‐level programming possibilities, thus overcoming the limited assembly abilities. The proposed methodology aims at helping the students to make the parallelization between the assembly language programming for 8‐bit microcontrollers and a higher level programming. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
