Customisation in cross-assembler design for the PIC16F872

Abstract

The paper describes the development of a cross-assembler known as MCASM which enables programming of the PIC16F872 in a language similar in style to that of the Intel ASM51. The work was instigated by the needs of students in the National University of Science and Technology for a cheap and versatile means of assembly for this processor. Customised features of the software are described.
