Input / Output Memory Mapped I/O – A section of the memory address space is reserved for I/O Registers rather than general memory locations. Think of it as “pseudo” memory. The same instructions are used for general programming and I/O programming. Non-Memory Mapped I/O – There is a separate address space for I/O programming, and an entirely separate set of I/O Instructions.

LC-3 has Memory Mapped I/O LC-3 Memory Layout: x0000 – x00FF Trap vectors x0100 – x2FFF System Programs & Data x3000 – xFDFF User Programs Area xFE00 – xFFFF I/O Programming “Registers”

Synchronous vs Asynchronous I/O Synchronous – latest value of data could be expected to be available when the program wanted it. It might be periodically updated at a know frequency. This is not typical nor usually realistic for I/O. Asynchronous – computer is generally much faster than I/O so program must wait until requested data is available or data provided has been taken. “Handshaking” is used to ensure that data is available or I/O device is ready.

Polling vs Interrrupt Driven I/O Polling – program checks handshaking signals to find when data is available of device is done (typically a loop in the program) Interrupt – program initiates I/O and waits until data is available (typically goes to sleep until the operating system wakes the program up)

Keyboard Input Interface

Keyboard Input Registers KBDR (Keyboard Data Register): Assigned to xFE02 Data is in KBDR[7:0] Read only Register KBSR (Keyboard Status Register): Assigned to xFE00 Status “ready” is KBSR[15] Set to “1” when new data is ready Cleared when data is read

Simple Program for Input from Keyboard ; Waiting for a character to be entered START LDI R1, KBSR ; Test for character input BRzp START ; If not there, try again LDI R0, KBDR ; Read character BRnzp NEXT_TASK ; Go to the next task KBSR.FILL xFE00 ; Address of KBSR (Keyboard Status Register) KBDR.FILL xFE02 ; Address of KBDR (Keyboard Data Register)

Console Output Interface

Console (Monitor) Output Registers DDR (Data Direction Register): Assigned to Address xFE06 Data is in DDR[7:0] DSR (Data Data Register): Assigned to Address xFE04 Status “done” bit is DSR[15] Set to “1” when data is picked up Cleared when new data is written

Simple Program to Output to Console (Monitor) ; Wait for write to Console done START LDI R1, DSR ; Test for output written BRzp START ; If not, try again STI R0, DDR ; Write character BRnzp NEXT_TASK ; Go to next task DSR.FILL xFE04 ; Address of DSR (Display Status Register) DDR.FILL xFE06 ; Address of DDR (Display Data Register)

I/O Interrupts Requirements for a device to interrupt the processor The device must have the right to request service The I/O device must want service The device request must be at a higher priority than what is being done by the processor or is being requested by other devices The processor must be completed with the present instruction execution

Device(s) Generating Interrupt Request

Generating the LC-3 Interrupt Request

Servicing an Interrupt The following process is followed to service an interrupt The CPU enters the Supervisor State The “context” of the present program is saved (PC, PSW, SP) The device provides the address of location in the interrupt service routine table where the pointer to the service routine should reside. The Supervisor loads the address of the service routine into the PC The service routine is executed (ending with an RTI) The context of the original program is loaded and the original program resumed
