Program in LC3 Assembly Language to Enter Text Using Interrupt Handler Assignment Solution

Instructions

Objective

Write a program in LC3 assembly language to enter text using interrupt handler.

Requirements and Specifications

Interrupt Service Routine (ISR)

In this assignment, we will use the keyboard as the input device for interrupting the main program. The ISR will start at x2600. The ISR simply reads the character typed and accepts only the symbols ‘A’, ‘C’, ‘G’, or ‘U’. Any other symbol will be ignored. Once it detects a valid symbol, it places it at location x3600.

Note, any value other than 0 at this location indicates a valid input character as the ISR only writes valid characters. Also, the ISR does not echo the character to the console. It is considered bad programming to perform time-consuming tasks like I/O inside Interrupt Service Routines.

Main Program

The main program will constantly check the location x3600 to see if there is an input character there and writes a 0to the location when it processes it. Processing an input character follows a simple algorithm which can be described by the above incomplete finite state machine (FSM). It is incomplete in that, it does not account for all inputs in all states but only presents some of the relevant inputs. You are welcome to solve the problem without the FSM as long as you implement the expected functionality. The Main program will start at x3000and will write to the screen the character it reads from x3600 , making sure it does this only once for each input entered. Also, it checks to see if a START codon (AUG) is detected. If so, it prints the pipe symbol ‘|’. After this point, it looks for a STOP codon (UAG, UAA, or UGA) so the program can terminate. (Note that for this program, the coding sequence itself does not need to be aligned in groups of 3 bases per codon. This is unlike real mRNA.)

VERY IMPORTANT:You are not allowed to use any TRAP instructions in your interrupt service routine.

To read a character that the user entered, you may not call TRAP x20(GETC) or TRAP x23(IN), or use any of the other TRAP routines. If you use TRAP in the interrupt service, your program is not correct and will fail our testing even though it may appear to work when you test it. You are free to use TRAPs in themain program. Do not forget to save and restore any registers that you use in the interrupt serviceroutine.
