BASIC ?, C ?, ... DOS/windoze/L'unix ? I assume x86..AMD64 CPUs is what you search for, here I'd use FASM-, NASM-, RosAsm(winPE)- or even MASM-tutorials beside the not renouncable CPU manuals (free downloads from Intel and AMD). There are others too, but these use a weird confusing syntax like AT&T,GAS, so you wont find a match with the CPU-manuals. __ wolfgang

If you are interested in hardware, then start with a simple 8 bit controller, for example the Atmel AVR family. You can download the development software from Atmel's web site. And even with a simple hobby equipment you can build your first system. If you are only interested in programming a CPU without doing hardware experiments (but you really will miss much), you can also program the CPU of your PC. Anyhow, you always have start with reading the CPU manual which you can download in pdf format from the manufacturers web site. Intel also offers free printed versions for the x86 CPUs. If you choose the x86 architecture use Google to search for a 386 manual which is much smaller then the current Pentium manuals. |
