Summary: You will work through a section of TI TMS320C55x assembly code by hand. The instructions include multiplication of fractional numbers in two's complement representation.

3 ; Assume:
4 ; BK03 = FIR_len
5 ; firStateIndex is stored at memory location 1008h
6 ; AR2 = 1000h
7 ; AR3 = 1004h
8 ; FRCT = 1

10 BSET AR3LC ; sets circular addressing for AR3
11 mov mmap(AR3), BSA23
12 mov #firStateIndex, AR4
13 mov *AR4, AR3
14 mov LO(AC0),*AR3+
15 mov #0, AC0
16 rpt #(FIR_len-1)
17 macm *AR2+,*AR3+,AC0
;" is considered a comment.
In this case, the comments indicate the contents of the
auxiliary registers, the BK03 register, and the address registers before the execution of
the first instruction, mov.
The line FIR_len .set 3 defines the name FIR_len as equal to 3. The BK03 register contains the length of the
circular buffer we want to use for auxiliary register 0 through 3. The BSET AR3LC modifies the increment operator + so that it
behaves as a circular buffer. This means circular addressing will be used for AR3. Refer to Section 6.11 of the CPU Reference Guide for help on circular addressing.
h" or preceded with a
0x represents a hexadecimal value.

mov,
rpt, and macm instructions, step
through each line of code and record the values of the
accumulator AC0 and auxiliary registers
AR2 and AR3 in the spaces provided
in Figure 2. Additionally, record the value
of the memory contents after all three instructions have been
"executed" in the blank data memory table in (Reference).

AC0 is a 40-bit register, and that the
multiplier is in the fractional arithmetic mode.
In this mode, integers on the DSP are interpreted as
fractions, and the multiplier will treat them accordingly.
This is done by shifting the result of the integer multiplier
in the ALU left one bit. (All the arithmetic is fractional in these examples.)
Multiplies performed by the ALU
(via the macm instruction) produce a result that
is twice what you would expect if you just multiplied the two
integers together. DSP numerical representation and
arithmetic are described further in Two's Complement and Fractional Arithmetic
for 16-bit Processors.
