Virtual Machine & Assembler Workflow

Virtual Machine

• Convert all the .jack files using compiler and get the .vm files
• Put all the .vm files in vm_code directory(every time all the files in the dir will be converted)
• (Note:) Terminal should be in the same directory as the VirtualMachine.py file(that is Virtual Machine folder)
• Run the VirtualMachine.py file(no arguments)
• The output will be in the output directory(riscv_code.asm)

Assembler

• Place the riscv_code.asm file in the assembler directory
• (NOTE: ) Terminal should be in the same directory as the assembler.py file(that is Assembler folder)
• Run the assembler.py file(no arguments)
• The output will be in the output directory(output directory)
• Binary code will be in bin.txt
• First pass, Second pass view will be in first_pass.txt and second_pass.txt respectively
• Symbol table, Label table, Register table will be in symbol_table.txt, label_table.txt, register_table.txt respectively (in tables folder)

TODO:

[] Set the base address in $temp register [] Set the static base address. [] Using register instead of memory(for temp segment) [] Most of the registers are not used(try to use them) [] Verification & Bug fixes.
