Objective 1. To learn about the addressing modes available for the 80386 microprocessor. 2. To learn how to move data.

Introduction The available addressing modes in the 80386 microprocessor can be classified into Simple Addressing Modes and Complex Addressing Modes. Simple Addressing Modes includes Intermediate Addressing Mode, Register Addressing and Direct Addressing while Complex Addressing Modes includes Register Indirect Addressing Mode, Base Plus Index Addressing Mode and Register Relative Addressing Mode. The changes in content of register/memory address after each instruction in the source code can be observed by using Turbo Debugging. Procedure A. Experiment #1 Simple Addressing Modes 1. Source code was created as shown as below.

2. The source code was assembled to create object code and then linked to create executable file.

3. The changes in content of register/memory address after each instruction were observed by using Turbo Debugging and then recorded in a table. B. Experiment #2 Complex Addressing Modes 1. All the steps in Experiment #1 were repeated by replacing the source code as shown as below.

C. Experiment #3 Using Addressing Modes 1. An assembly language program that has two variables list1 and list2 was developed. list1 contains ABCD while list2 contains 012345. list1(3) was exchanged with list2(2) in the program.

Program output:

Discussion 1. The changes in content of register/memory address after instruction in the source code can be observed using Turbo Debugger. 2. The sign $ at the end of variables of list1 and list2 in the source code is significant to specify the end of the displayed results. It avoids messy and irrelevant symbols present in program output. 3. In the experiment #3, D and 2 was exchanged between variables of list1 and list2 by using addressing modes. Conclusion The addressing modes available for the 80386 microprocessor were learnt by observing the moving process of data through Turbo Debugging.
