AQA 7517 4.7.3.5: Machine-code/assembly language operations

The free BugBot lessons that teach this point, a robot to try it on, and the past-paper questions that test it.

Lessons that teach it

  1. A9.5 Assembly language: the Little Man Computer Computer architecture
    OCR's LMC instruction set: tracing and writing programs with selection and iteration, run in Python.
  2. A9.6 AQA assembly language and bitwise operations Computer architecture
    AQA's instruction set, compare and branch, masks and shifts, and the bit fields that drive BugBot's motors.
  3. A9.10 Project: a processor of your own Computer architecture
    Build a von Neumann machine with register transfers, addressing modes, flags and memory-mapped I/O that plays a scale on the robot.
