1. Interface stepper motor

2. Interface ADC& DAC

3. Interface Traffic signalling system

4. Interface seven segmaent display

II. Experiments with 8086( A minimum of 14 programs required)

1. (a) Use the r command in Debug to display the values of the registers and then draw a diagram

of the CPU showing the contents of all internal registers in (a) hex and (b) binary

(b) Use the e command in Debug to enter your name and address starting from offset 00ffh in

segment 0565. Draw a diagram of the memory with contents based on the dump (d) command.

(c) Create a small text file using the DOS editor edit (for example, a letter). Check the size using

DOS dir command. Then give the file name along with Debug command and check the contents

of the file and verify the length.

(d) Using debug command ‗d‘, dump a 256-byte memory location and interpret the structure of

the output

(e) Enter the following data in memory locations specified and diagrammatically show the

contents of the memory in hex:

Data Type Location

'A' ASCII 0500:100

A Bh byte 0500:101

0A7Ch Word 0500:102

ABBAFACEh Double Word 0500:104

"INDIA" ASCII String 0500:110

(f) B800:0000 is a special memory location. Enter any ASCII codes here, each one followed by

the byte ffh, you will see something interesting happening in the left hand top corner of your

screen. Note it down and try to explain it. Also repeat it with ffh replaced by 07, and 77.

Page 29: BSc Electronics Syllabus Kerala University

29

2 (a) A sequence of word pairs are stored in location 0000:0000. The first word in the pair is an

offset address and the second word is a segment address. Use dump and note down the first 5

such pairs

(b) The word stored in location 0040:0013 specifies the amount of usable memory in a PC.

Dump this using the d command and convert it to decimal.

(c) Repeat (b) using a C program. To peep into a memory location using C, you must declare a

far char pointer and then use the MK_FP function in C. Suppose p is such a pointer, then

p=MK_FP(0X0040, 0X0013);

(d) The port address of the CRT Controller Chip is stored as a byte in locatiuon 0040:0063.

Find this using Debug.

(e) ROM BIOS specifies character attributes as a byte in the following way (you have already

had an occassion to learn this in Pract. I)

B R G B I R G B

----- -----

(1) (2) (3) (4)

(1) The bit B=0 for Nominal and =1 for Blinking (2) The next RGB represents Background

colour

(3) The bit I=0 is for normal intensity and I=1 is for bright display (4) The last RGB is for

foreground (text) colour. RGB represents colurs as Black, Blue, Green, Cyan, Red, Violet,

Brown and White corresponding to the valves 0 to 7. Display your name or any other word(s) of

your choice with the following specifications, using debug:

First character Normal

Second Reverse

Third Blinking

Fourth Blinking White in Red background

Fifth Bright Blue in Blue backlground

Rest Upto our choice.

3. For each 8086 instruction, write simple examples covering different possible cases and use T

option in Debug to trace the steps. Based on a register dump before and after execution of

instructions, explain the instructions.

Page 30: BSc Electronics Syllabus Kerala University

30

4. (a) Two arrays of bytes each of length 10th are stored in the memory from location 0a00 and

0b00 re spectively. Add the corresponding elements of the array and store the result starting

from 0c00.

(b) Repeat (a), if the array is made up of words instead of bytes

(c) Modify (a) for swapping the contents of the arrays instead of adding. Also, repeat for the

case of word array.

5. (a) Repeat (4) for multiplication instead of addition. Also repeat for word array instead of

byte array.

(b) Write programs to achieve the following calculations and interpret the results. All numbers

are given in base 10: (A) 56*63 (b) -56*63 (c) +275*-228 (d) 100/10 (f) -98/105

6(a) What is the forward reference problem in assemblers? How do you tackle it while using

Debug? Explain with an example from Debug.

(b) Dumping the IVT, locate the address of the ISR for hardware interrupt on and unassemble it.

(c) Enter the ascci codes corresponding to your name in memory locations starting from 0200.

Invoke interrupt 21H, service AH=9 to display the string on the screen.

(d) 8. In debug, without using '9' for quit, use int 21h. ah=4c to come out to DOS.

7. Under INT 10h, there are services available for setting video mode, setting cursor size, setting

cursor position, reading cursor position, reading character attribute, write pixel, read pixel and

get current video mode. Experiment each of these and report.15. Using interrupt 1AH, service

04h, read the real-time clock of the computer. Use this assembly segment in C program to

generate a report of the program run time using a function called setclock( ) which returns the

current time as an integer. By setting the clock at two points in a program, it should be possible

to calculate the time difference.

8. (a) Using interrupt 19H. reboot the computer (b) Write an assembly program to test the

printer by printing all alphabets and numerals using INT 21H, service 5H.(c) Using Int 11h,

write a program to find out the number of floppy drives in the system and display the same,

blinking, at the centre of the screen.

9-12: Assembly programs which involve non-trivial logic (Program to implement modulo-n-

counter for given delay, hexadecimal up-down counter, find sum of n natural numbers, find

largest/smallest of n given numbers etc).
