This chapter documents the Backend for the c16x/st10 microcontroller family.
Note that this module is not yet fully completed!
@section Legal
This module is written in 2002-2004 by Volker Barthelmann and
is covered by the vasm copyright without modifications.
@section Additional options for this module
This module provides the following additional options:
@table @option
@item -no-translations
Do not translate between jump instructions.
If the offset of a @code{jmpr}
instruction is too large, it will not be translated to
@code{jmps} but an error will be emitted.
Also, @code{jmpa} will not be optimized to @code{jmpr}.
The pseudo-instruction @code{jmp} will still be translated.
@item -jmpa
A @code{jmp} or @code{jmpr} instruction that is translated due to
its offset being larger than 8 bits will be translated to a
@code{jmpa} rather than a @code{jmps}, if possible.
@end table
@section General
This backend accepts c16x/st10 instructions as described in the
Infineon instruction set manuals.
The target address type is 32bit.
Default alignment for sections and instructions is 2 bytes.
@section Extensions
This backend provides the following specific extensions:
@itemize @minus
@item
There is a pseudo instruction @code{jmp} that will be translated
either to a @code{jmpr} or @code{jmpa} instruction, depending on
the offset.
@item
The @code{sfr} pseudo opcode can be used to declare special function
registers. It has two, three of four arguments. The first argument
is the identifier to be declared as special function register.
The second argument is either the 16bit sfr address or its 8bit base
address (0xfe for normal sfrs and
0xf0 for extended special function registers). In the latter case,
the third argument is
the 8bit sfr number. If another argument is given, it specifies the
bit-number in the sfr (i.e. the declaration declares a single bit).
Example:
@example
.sfr zeros,0xfe,0x8e
@end example
@item
@code{SEG} and @code{SOF} can be used to obtain the segment or
segment offset of a full address.
Example:
@example
mov r3,#SEG farfunc
@end example
@end itemize
@section Optimizations
This backend performs the following optimizations:
@itemize @minus
@item
@code{jmp} is translated to @code{jmpr}, if possible. Also, if
@option{-no-translations} was not specified, @code{jmpr} and
@code{jmpa} are translated.
@item
Relative jump instructions with an offset that does not fit into
8 bits are translated to a @code{jmps} instruction or an inverted
jump around a @code{jmps} instruction.
@item
For instruction that have two forms @code{gpr,#IMM3/4} and
@code{reg,#IMM16} the smaller form is used, if possible.
