I strongly recommend getting these documents from Seiko to aid development:

bullet

s1c88 core cpu manual:  Gives details about the instruction set.

bullet

s1c88 tool package manual-1:  Gives details about the assembler.

bullet

s1c88349 technical manual:  Gives details about the CPU.

S1C88 (8-bit CPU) Registers and Flags

bullet
The physical connectivity of the registers is seen in this map in the "S1C88 Core Reference Manual"
bullet
These are the registers:
Name #bits Description
A 8 data register
B 8 data register
AB 16 combination of A and B
H 8 index (data) register
L 8 index (data) register
HL 16 combination of H and L
IX 16 index register
IY 16 index register
PC 16 program counter
SP 16 stack pointer
BR 8 base register
SC 8 system condition register
CC 4 custom condition flag
NB 8 new code bank register
CB 8 code bank register
EP 8 expand page register
XP 8 expand page register for IX
YP 8 expand page register for IY

System Condition Flags (SC)
Mnemonic Bit Description
Z 0 zero flag
C 1 carry flag
V 2 overflow flag
N 3 negative flag
D 4 decimal flag
U 5 unpack flag
I0 6 interupt 0 flag
I1 7 interupt 1 flag

S1C88 Instruction Set By Function

bulletThe 45 Instructions
Function Mnemonic Operation Intel® 8088 Equivalent Notes
Arithmetic and Logic ADC addition with carry    
ADD addition    
AND logical product (bitwise AND)    
BIT bit test TEST Use a mask to test a bit or bits in A, B, [HL] without affecting registers except for the flags.
CP comparision CMP Basically subtraction of second argument from first argument except that only the flags are changed (not other register contents as with SUB).  So, if arguments are equal, the Z flag is set.
CPL 1's compliment (negation)    
DEC decrement    
DIV division   L=HL/A, H=remainder    Only 8-bit :(
INC increment    
MLT multiplication MUL HL=A*L,  No arguments because always A*L!
NEG 2's compliment (negation)    
OR logical sum (bitwise OR)    
SUB subtraction    
UPCK unpack    
XOR exclusive OR    
Transfer EX byte/word exchange XCHG  
LD load MOV  
SWAP nibble exchange    
Rotate/Shift

Only 1 shift per instruction!

RL rotate left through carry RCL  
RLC rotate left ROL  
RR rotate right through carry RCR Carry goes to LSB, MSB goes into carry
RRC rotate right ROR  
SLA shift arithmetic left SAL MSB goes to carry, 0 goes to LSB
SLL shift logical left SHL  
SRA shift arithmetic right SAR  
SRL shift logical right SHR  
Auxilary Operation PACK pack    
SEP code extension    
UPCK unpack    
Stack Control POP pop stack    
PUSH push stack    
Branch CALL indirect call    
CARL relative long call   See note below
CARS relative short call   See note below
DJR loop    
INT software interrupt    
JP indirect jump    
JRL relative long jump   See not below
JRS relative short jump   See not below
RET return    
RETE exception processing return    
RETS return and skip    
System Control HALT shift to HALT status    
NOP no operation    
SLP shift to SLEEP status    

      bulletNote:  We seem to be using CAR for CARL and CARS and JR for JRS and JRL.  I think the assembler decides which to use automatically.

Assembler Notes

bulletIf you get errors on "Create Wristapp", check the *.ers files (probably common.ers) in the build directory. bulletIf there is no *.ers file for e.g., common, check that you didn't use a label name that doesn't exist.  Seems like the *.elk file contains these errors. bullet  bulletFloating Point info
