Assignment 3: Write, Assemble, Debug, and Execute Assembly Code, Instruction Groups
CLO 1 Define concepts in the design of microprocessor as state machine and designing its data path and its
controller.
CLO 2 Describe how the basic units of the Intel 8088 architecture work together to represent Integer Numbers,
Floating Numbers and register representation inside the microprocessor.
CLO 3 Implement assembly programs of intermediate complexity using the intel 8088 architecture. The student
should also be able to convert intermediate complexity program in high level language into assembly code.
