How to start with GNU Simulator 8085

Run the first program

Step1:

Open GNU Sim 8085 this window will open.

Step2:

Start writing the code after start: nop

  • mvi a, 12h
  • mvi b, 18h
  • add b

Step 3:

Click on reset and reset all the registers by clicking on reset all.

Step 4:

Click on the highlighted button to execute the code

Step 5:

Name and save the file.

Step 6:

After this you will see the result of the instructions in the respective registers as seen in the image.


Practise problems

Write andexecute the following codes as mentioned in step 2.

Prob 01: Addition of two numbers

lda var1
mov b,a
lda var2
add b
sta var3
hlt
var1: db 04h

  1. MVI: – move immediate date to a register or memory location.

    Eg: – MVI Rd, #30H (30h is stored in register Rd)

    MVI M, #30H(30h is stored in memory location pointed by HL Reg)

  2. mov ——> data movement instruction
    lda ——> load accumulator with the contents from memory

  3. 5.LXI(Load register pair immediate): – The instruction loads 16-bit data in the register pair designated in the
    operand.
    Eg: – LXI H, 2034H (2034H is stored in HL pair so that it act as memory pointer)

    LXI H, XYZ (address of level XYZ is copied in HL pair)
