Motorola has books you can order from their website. The actual page for ordering is at http://www.mot-sps.com/home/lit_ord.html Search around the site for order numbers for the various books they have available. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Nathan Ingersoll | Computer Science/Mathematics | | mailto: ningerso@d.umn.edu | University of Minnesota-Duluth | | http://umn.edu/~ningerso | http://www.d.umn.edu | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Fri, 22 Oct 1999, Sean Chitwood wrote:

Also take a look at: http://www.mot.com/SPS/PowerPC/teksupport/teklibrary/ There's a lot of documentation up there, and it may even save you a couple of books ;-) cheers vinai ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.

It depends on what you exactly mean and your level. For smart tricks look for the Compiler Writer's Guide somewhere on IBM's site. I've personnally learnt PPC assembly from reading the architecture specification and got some more useful tricks from the Compiler Writer's Guide. <Shameless plug> For an example of a fairly large (but still comprehensible IMHO) assembly program, you may have a look at my em86 program on ftp://vlab1.iram.es. This is an emulator for x86 BIOSes which allows me to initialize my S3. It's quite heavily commented and the emulation of flags has been designed to make clever use of rlwimi and cntlzw instructions. OTOH the decoding of addressing modes is quite awful spaghetti (but this was faster than indirect branches). Plus the mixture of little and big endian made it very funny to write... </Shameless plug> Gabriel. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
