| MIT Syntax

| Motorola 680x0 Dependent Features | Next

The MIT syntax uses instructions names and syntax compatible with the Sun assembler. Intervening periods are ignored; for example, `movl` is equivalent to `mov.l`.
In the following table, apc stands for any of the address registers (`%a0` through `%a7`), the program counter (`%pc`), the zero-address relative to the program counter (`%zpc`), a suppressed address register (`%za0` through `%za7`), or it may be omitted entirely. The use of size means one of `w` or `l`, and it may be omitted, along with the leading colon, unless a scale is also specified. The use of scale means one of `1`, `2`, `4`, or `8`, and it may always be omitted along with the leading colon.
The following addressing modes are understood (note that some of them are valid only on 68020 or later processors, not on the ordinary 68000 used in TI calculators):

Immediate
  `#number`
Data Register
  `%d0` through `%d7`
Address Register
  `%a0` through `%a7`
  `%a7` is also known as `%sp`, i.e. the Stack Pointer. `%a6` is also known as `%fp`, the Frame Pointer.
Address Register Indirect
  `%a0@` through `%a7@`
Address Register Postincrement
  `%a0@+` through `%a7@+`
Address Register Predecrement
  `%a0@-` through `%a7@-`
Indirect Plus Offset
  `apc@(number)`
Index
  `apc@(number,register:size:scale)`
  The number may be omitted.
Postindex
  `apc@(number)@(onumber,register:size:scale)`
  The onumber or the register, but not both, may be omitted.
Preindex
  `apc@(number,register:size:scale)@(onumber)`
  The number may be omitted. Omitting the register produces the Postindex addressing mode.
Absolute
  `symbol`, or `digits`, optionally followed by `:b`, `:w`, or `:l`.
