Configurable Assembler Based on User Description
Peilin Liu · Jisuanji gongcheng · 2009
Aiming at the developing time of traditional assembler for off-the-shelf processors is too long to meet the requirement of configurable processor and changeable demand, this paper provides a method to design and implement configurable assembler based on user description. It highly abstracts the ISA dependent part in the assembler and by using high level description of ISA, and can quickly and directly reflect the changes of the demand and ISA into the assembler’s source code. Experimental results indicate that it reduces about 50% developing work and brings down the threshold to develop the assembler.
