a8a, the ADE8 assembler

This project contains the code for the assembler for the ADE8 architecture.

ADE8 (Architettura di Esempio a 8 bit - Example 8 bit architecture) is a didactic Instruction Set Architecture, created by Costantino Grana and Roberto Vezzani at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy

Prerequisites

You need a C compiler, CMake, Flex and Bison for this to work.

Compiling under Windows

Tested using VisualStudio 2019, CMake 3.17.5, and WinFlexBison (bison 3.7.4, flex 2.6.4). Install VisualStudio and CMake as usual, then for WinFlexBison make it from https://github.com/lexxmark/winflexbison or use Chocolatey, which is easier:

choco install winflexbison3

Then you just run CMake (with GUI if you like it) and you have your VS project.

Compiling under Linux

Tried on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS

sudo apt-get install flex
sudo apt-get install bison
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Compiling under MacOS

brew install gcc
git clone https://github.com/CostantinoGrana/a8a
