MIPS Assembly

Post by Moosader »

Does anyone here have experience with MIPS assembly?
There aren't many resources online and I'm having trouble figuring it out.

Instead of directing you to the "Manual" or tell you to RTFM (read the fucking manual :lol: ), I'll point you to a something less verbose, and very good (I read a little of it when I tried to program the PSP once). Its the programmer's manual ~200 pages (very different than "The Manual" which is ~700 pages):

There are some things linked from my EE380 class site. http://aggregate.org/EE380/refs.html
I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.

Seems to be a decent book, and it's only 109 pages.

I find very little on the web about assembly, I think few are actually capable of competently writing Assembly instructions (or explaining what they mean)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think I can program pretty well, it's my compiler that needs convincing!

And now a joke to lighten to mood :D

I wander what programming language anakin skywalker used to program C3-PO's AI back on tatooine? my guess is Jawa :P

Also, Lusikka, if you want a very nice introduction to assembly, check out Jonathan Bartlett's book, is freaking amazing. I read it a while ago. It's not pertaining to windows or mips( x86 unix/linux, using GAS), but it is one hell of a nice introduction (~200 pages): Programming From The Ground Up

I have a poorly written text document on my laptop (The screen hinge is broken, so I have been avoiding using it)... But it is really amatuer and not too helpful, It tought me some basics though
