Forward Reference Problem and Future Symbol Problem in 8086 Forward Reference Problem A typical line in a program could be BEGIN:MOV AX,SUM  In this example BEGIN is a label which corresponds to the address that line of code is stored.A label when defined is called symbol.There will be a memory address corresponding to all symbols.  All current assemblers allow the use of labels rather than numeric addresses of memory locations.However finally the labels must be translated to memory addresses.As such an important issue that an assembler will have to sort out what is called Forward Reference Problem Future Symbol Problem take a look at this code BEGIN: MOV AX,BX                JMP AGAIN                ......................                ......................                ...........

The Assembly Process Of 8086 Microprocessor Assembler Assembler is a translator which converts Assembly language into object file (Machine Codes ) It translate each of the instruction to its corresponding object code line by line Assembling Steps Two Pass Assembling Steps Two Pass Assembling means that the assembler passes  through the source code two times Step1: On First Pass             Assembler Look for the labels and defintions and pass them into the symbol table for later use             after assigning memory address to the labels Step2: On Second Pass            Normal translation of source code into object code occurs

Hardware Architecture of 8086 Address/data bus AD0-AD15. These are 16 address/data bus. AD0-AD7 carries low order byte data and AD8AD15 carries higher order byte data. During the first clock cycle, it carries 16-bit address and after that it carries 16-bit data. Address/status bus A16-A19/S3-S6. These are the 4 address/status buses. During the first clock cycle, it carries 4-bit address and later it carries status signals. Power supply and frequency signals It uses 5V DC supply at V CC  pin 40, and uses ground at V SS  pin 1 and 20 for its operation. Clock signal Clock signal is provided through Pin-19. It provides timing to the processor for operations. Its frequency is different for different versions, i.e. 5MHz, 8MHz and 10MHz. S7/BHE BHE stands for Bus High Enable. It is available at pin 34 and used to indicate the transfer of data using data bus D8-D15. This signal is low during the first clock cycle, thereafter it is active. Read( ...
