This book focuses on teaching the art of programming in assembly language, using
the RISC-V ISA as the guiding example. Towards this goal, the text spans, at an
introductory level, the organization of computing systems, describes the mechanics of
how programs are created and introduces basic programming concepts including both
user level and system programming. The ability to read and write code in low-level
assembly language is a powerful skill to be able to create high performance programs,
and to access features of the machine that are not easily accessible from high-level
languages such as C, Java or Python, for example to control peripheral devices.
The book introduces the organization of computing systems, and the mechanics of creating programs and converting them to machine-readable format suitable
for execution. It also teaches the components of a program, or how a programmer
communicates her intent to the system via directives, data allocation primitives and
finally the ISA instructions, and their use. Basic programming concepts of control
flow, loops as well as the runtime stack are introduced.
Next the book describes the organization of code sequences into routines and
subroutines, to compose a program. The text also addresses issues related to system
programming, including notions of peripheral control and interrupts.
This text, and ancillary teaching materials, has been used in introductory classes
at the University of Campinas, Brazil (UNICAMP) and has undergone refinement
and improvement for several editions.
