Square Root Simplifier in ARM Assembly

An ARM Assembly program that simplifies square roots. Input number can be up to 8 digits long.

Usage

Clone the repository then cd to the directory:

$ git clone https://github.com/s7a19t4r/asm-sqrtsimplify
$ cd asm-sqrtsimplify

Native ARM

1. Verify system architecture to match syntax and ability to run ARM binaries. Run the following commands to run the Bash script:

   $ ./check-arch.sh
   

   If the result is successful, proceed. If not, use alternative options below (QEMU Emulator or Virtual Machine)

   If permission to run Bash script is denied, run

   $ chmod +x check-arch.sh
   

   then run script again

2. Assembler and linker should be automatically installed, use makefile with native to compile (defaults to native):

   $ make native
   

3. Run ELF

   $ ./main.elf
   

Emulator (QEMU)

macOS not supported due to absence of qemu-user package, which includes necessary commands

1. Install QEMU:

   $ sudo apt install qemu-user
   

2. Install GNU cross-compiler for ARM architecture

   $ sudo apt install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi
   

3. Use makefile with virtual to compile:

   $ make virtual
   

4. Run ELF with QEMU emulator

   $ qemu-arm ./main.elf
   

Virtual Machine (QEMU)

To setup Raspberry-Pi virtual machine using QEMU, visit the GitHub repository for my VM setup configurations.
