Alternate Assembler for Spin Semi FV-1

Copyright (C) 2017-2021 Nathan Fraser

An alternate assembler for the Spin Semiconductor FV-1 DSP. This assembler aims to replicate some of the behaviour of the Spin FV-1 assembler in standard Python, for developers who are unable or unwilling to use the Spin provided IDE.

Requirements

  • Python >= 2.6

Installation

Make sure your system has a python interpreter (preferably python3), then install from the Python Package Index using the pip command:

$ pip3 install asfv1

or

$ pip install asfv1

For system-specific installation instructions see System Specific Installation below.

Description

asfv1 reads a single FV-1 DSP program then parses and assembles it. If no errors are encountered, machine code is written to an output file. If the output filename ends with 'hex', an Intel hex encoded output is produced, otherwise raw binary data is written.

usage: asfv1 [-h] [-q] [-v] [-c] [-s] [-p {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7}] [-b]
         	infile outfile
  • infile : Filename for an ASCII, utf-8 or utf-16 encoded text file containing FV-1 assembly (see Assembly Program Syntax below)

  • outfile : Filename for assembled output. If filename ends with 'hex', an Intel hex file is written.

  • -h, --help : Show a help message and exit

  • -q, --quiet : Suppress warning messages

  • -v, --version : Print program version and exit

  • -c, --clamp : Clamp out of range instruction operand values without error. A warning message is printed for each clamped operand.

  • -s, --spinreals : Interpret integer literals 1 and 2 as 1.0 and 2.0 respectively. This option should be used with SpinASM assembly.

  • -p {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7} : Nominate one of the eight available program slots on an FV-1 eeprom as the target. When this option is used with binary output, machine code is offset appropriately in the target file, allowing for assembly into an existing binary bank file. When Intel HEX output is requested, the output file will include a single program and relevant offset information for the target program.

  • -b, --binary : Force output in binary format, even if outfile ends with 'hex'.

Assembly Program Syntax

An FV-1 assembly program recognised by asfv1 closely resembles the SpinIDE (.spn) format. Input is an ASCII, utf-8 or utf-16 encoded text file containing zero to 128 FV-1 instructions with optional targets, labels, comments and assembly directives. All text is matched case-insensitively and runs of whitespace characters (newline, tab, space) are condensed. Each of the input instructions is assembled into a single 32 bit machine code. If less than 128 assembly instructions are input, the unallocated program space is padded with 'NOP' instructions (0x00000011).

For example:

; A complete, but useless FV-1 assembly program
MEM	delay	int(32767*3/5)	; ~0.6 sec delay
EQU	input	ADCL		; use ADCL for input
EQU	output	DACL		; use DACL for output
EQU	vol	REG0		; use REG0 for volume
start:	skp	RUN,main	; skip to main after first sample
	ldax	POT0		; read from POT0
	wrax	vol,0.0		; write volume to register
main:	ldax	input		; read from input
	mulx	vol		; scale by volume
	wra	delay,0.0	; write to delay
	rda	delay^,0.5	; read from delay midpoint
	rda	delay#,0.5	; read from delay end
	wrax	output,0.0	; write to output

When assembled with asfv1, the resulting machine code contains 9 instructions and padding with NOP instructions:

$ asfv1 -q example.asm example.bin
$ hd example.bin 
00000000  80 40 00 11 00 00 02 05  00 00 04 06 00 00 02 85  |.@..............|
00000010  00 00 04 0a 00 00 00 02  20 04 cc c0 20 09 99 80  |........ ... ...|
00000020  00 00 02 c6 00 00 00 11  00 00 00 11 00 00 00 11  |................|

00000200

Comments

A semicolon character ';' starts comment text. The assembler will ignore all text including the ';' up to the end of a line. Examples:

; Comment out a whole line
target:	or	0xffffff	; comment to end of line
trget2:		; comment between target and instruction
	and	0x000000	; comment follows instruction
	; xor 0xa5a5a5		; instruction commented out
; excessive commenting:
addr02: cho			; op=0x14 interpolated memory access
		rdal,		; type=0x3 read offset(LFO) into ACC
		SIN1,		; lfo=0x1 use SIN1 LFO
		COS|REG		; flags=0xb register LFO and use COS output

Label Assignment

EQU	LABEL	EXPRESSION

Directive 'EQU' assigns the constant value resulting from the evaluation of 'EXPRESSION' (see Operand Expressions below) to the text label 'LABEL'. LABEL must begin with one alphabetic character in the set [A-Z,a-z] followed by any number of alphanumeric characters or underscores: [A-Z,a-z,0-9,_]. EXPRESSION can contain any previously assigned labels, including those pre-defined by the assembler (see Pre-defined Labels below). For compatibility with SpinASM, the order of 'EQU' and 'LABEL' may be swapped. Examples:

EQU	input	ADCL		; assign value of ADCL (0x14) to 'input'
EQU	r3_7	3/7		; assign the value 3/7 to 'r3_7'
inve	EQU	1/r3_7		; assign the inverse of 'r3_7' to 'inve'

EQU does not generate any code in the program, it merely reserves the name for subsequent use. The parser evaluates all expressions in-place so a label must be declared before it is used:

	or	missing		; error
EQU	missing	123		; missing is used before definition

parse error: Undefined label missing on line ...

Re-defining an already assigned label is allowed, but will generate a warning message:

EQU	POT0	POT1		; point POT0 to POT1

warning: Label POT0 re-defined on line ...

Labels, mnemonics and operators are matched case insensitively:

EQU	Label_One	-1.0	; assign 1.0 to 'LABEL_ONE'
eQu	lABEL_oNE	-1.0	; assign 1.0 to 'LABEL_ONE' again
	Or	label_one	; or -1.0
	oR	LABEL_ONE	; or -1.0
	OR	LABEL_ONE	; or -1.0
	or	lAbEl_OnE	; or -1.0

Memory Allocation

MEM	LABEL	EXPRESSION

Addresses in the FV-1's 32768 sample circular buffer can be assigned by the assembler using the 'MEM' directive. MEM reserves a portion of memory that represents a delay of 'EXPRESSION' samples between the start point and end point, and assigns three labels:

LABEL	start of delay segment
LABEL^	midpoint of delay segment
LABEL#	end of delay segment

EXPRESSION must define an integer number of samples or a parse error will be generated:

MEM	invalid	123.4556	; invalid memory definition

Memory INVALID length 123.4556 not integer on line 42

MEM	third	32767//3	; valid due to integer divide
MEM	d0_13	int(0.13*32767)	; valid due to explicit type cast

LABEL has the same requirements as for EQU, and the assigned labels can be used in any expression. Eg:

MEM	Del_A	375		; declare a 375 sample delay called 'DEL_A'
	wra	DEL_A,0.0	; write to start of delay, DEL_A=0
	rda	del_a^,0.5	; read 0.5*midpoint of delay, DEL_A^=187
	rda	DeL_A#,0.5	; add to 0.5*end of delay, DEL_A#=375

The assembler keeps track of allocated memory, placing each new segment immediately after those previously defined. Each segment with a delay of LENGTH, will consume LENGTH+1 samples of memory. An attempt to use more than the available space will trigger a parse error:

MEM	long	0x7f00		; long:0 long#:0x7f00
MEM	short	0x00ff		; short:0x7f01 short#:0x8000 (error)

parse error: Delay exhausted: requested 255 exceeds 254 available on line ...

The caret character '^' is also used in expressions as the bitwise XOR operator, so expressions which reference a delay may need to be explicitly parenthesised if used with '^':

	or	delay^0xffff	; parse error - delay label takes caret

parse error: Unexpected INTEGER 0xffff on line ...

	or	(delay)^0xffff	; OK - parentheses enforce ordering
	or	delay^^0xffff	; OK 

Jump Targets

Jump targets label a particular address in the program output and can be placed between instructions anywhere in a source file. A jump target is a text label followed by a colon ':' character:

		skp	1,TARGET1	; skip offset is 3
		skp	2,TARGET2	; skip offset is 2
		skp	4,TARGET3	; skip offset is 1
		or	0xff	Target1:	; target after instr
TARGET2:			; target on its own line
tarGET3:	and	0x12	; all three targets point to this instruction

Use of an already defined label for a target will result in a parse error:

EQU	error	-1
error:	or	0x800000

parse error: Target ERROR already assigned on line ...

Target labels are not assigned values until parsing is complete and they can only be used as a destination for a skip instruction. For example, the following attempt to offset from a target generates a parse error:

	skp	NEG,target	; skip to target if negative
	skp	0,target+1	; error - invalid expression
target:	clr			; clear ACC
	wrax	DACL,0.0	; output only positive

parse error: Unexpected OPERATOR + on line ...

To achieve the desired if/else behaviour, use a second target:

	skp	NEG,ifpart	; skip to target if negative
	skp	0,elsept	; else, skip ahead
ifpart:	clr			; clear ACC
elsept:	wrax	DACL,0.0	; output >= 0

Instructions

An instruction is represented by a mnemonic text followed by zero or more operand expressions separated by commas:

Mnemonic Operands Description

cho TYPE,LFO,FLAGS,ADDRESS interpolated memory access

Each operand must evaluate to a single constant numeric value. The sizes and types are specific to each instruction (see Instruction Reference below).

Operand Expressions

Operand expressions are any valid combination of labels, numbers, parentheses and the following operators, listed from highest to lowest precedence. Operators on the same line have the same precedence, and are evaluated left to right - except for '**' (power) which works as in the python intepreter.

Operator Function Note
| bitwise or valid for integers only
^ bitwise xor valid for integers only
& bitwise and valid for integers only
<< >> shift left, shift right valid for integers only
+ - add, subtract
* // / multiply, divide // forces integer divide
+ - ~ int unary plus, minus, invert bits, integer cast ! is an alias for ~
** power Binds right: -10**-2 = -0.01

The following numeric entry formats are recognised:

Literal Value Type
123 123 Decimal integer
0x123 291 Hexadecimal integer
$123 291 Hexadecimal integer
0b1010_1111 175 Binary integer
%0101_1111 175 Binary integer ('_' is ignored)
1.124 1.124 Floating point number
1.124e-3 0.001124 Floating point number with exponent

The final value of an expression will be either an integer, which is used for the instruction operand unchanged or a floating point value which is later converted to the closest fixed-point integer of the required size (see Fixed Point Conversion below). The unary int operator will force a floating-point value to be rounded and converted to the nearest integer:

MEM	d0_23	int(0.23*0x8000) ; ~0.23 second delay = 7537 samples

If the result of the expression is a complex number, or if the expression cannot be evaluated, a parse error is generated:

EQU	j	(-1)**(1/2)	; j=sqrt(-1)

parse error: Expression result (6.123233995736766e-17+1j) invalid type on line ...

EQU	ns	1024<<(-1)	; impossible negative shift

parse error: negative shift count on line ...

EQU	tms	(1024/13)&0x123	; type mismatch

parse error: unsupported operand type(s) for &: 'float' and 'int' on line ...

More formally, a valid operand expression matches the following grammar:

expression ::= or_expr
or_expr ::= xor_expr | or_expr "|" xor_expr
xor_expr ::= and_expr | xor_expr "^" and_expr
and_expr ::= shift_expr | and_expr "&" shift_expr
shift_expr ::= a_expr | shift_expr "<<" a_expr | shift_expr ">>" a_expr
a_expr ::=  m_expr | a_expr "+" m_expr | a_expr "-" m_expr
m_expr ::=  u_expr | m_expr "*" u_expr | m_expr "//" u_expr | m_expr "/" u_expr
u_expr ::=  power | "-" u_expr | "+" u_expr | "~" u_expr | "int" u_expr
power ::= atom ["**" u_expr]
atom ::= label | literal | "(" expression ")"

Where label is a text label, and literal is a number. Expressions are parsed and evaluated in-place by asfv1. All labels must be defined before they are referenced in an expression.

Fixed Point Conversion

For instructions that require fixed-point real values as input, asfv1 automatically converts real expression results from an intermediate floating-point value to the nearest equivalent signed fixed-point integer. This value is then masked to the correct number of bits and placed in machine code. The conversion is performed for all types by computing the multiplication:

fixed = int(round(floating * REFERENCE)) & MASK

Where REFERENCE is the equivalent integer value of +1.0 in the desired number format and floating is the saturated intermediate floating-point value. The following table lists the sizes and range of each of the FV-1 number formats.

Name	Bits	Refval	Minval	Maxval
S4_6	11	64	-16.0	15.984375
S1_9	11	512	-2.0	1.998046875
S_10	11	1024	-1.0	0.9990234375
S1_14	16	16384	-2.0	1.99993896484375
S_15	16	32768	-1.0	0.999969482421875
S_23	24	8388608	-1.0	0.9999998807907104

For example, the following entries all generate the same code:

	or	-0.4335784912109375		; S_23 real value
	or	-0x377f80&0xffffff		; signed 23bit int to unsigned 24 bit int
	or	0xc88080			; unsigned 24bit int in hexadecimal
	or	13140096			; unsigned 24bit int in decimal
	or	1<<23|2**22|1<<19|2**15|1<<7	; unsigned 24bit int by bitwise or
	or	0b110010001000000010000000	; unsigned 24bit int in binary
	or	int(-0.4335784912109375*2**23)&0xffffff	; S_23 to unsigned 24bit conversion

Pre-defined labels may be re-defined within a source file, however, the re-defined value only applies to label references following the assignment. Any re-definition will issue a warning message:

	ldax	POT0	; load POT0 (0x10)
EQU	POT0	ADCL	; re-define POT0 to be 0x14
	ldax	POT0	; load from ADCL (0x14)

warning: Label POT0 re-defined on line ...

ACC <- OFFSET + MULTIPLIER * 2**ACC
PACC <- ACC

Example:

	log	1.0,4.0		; log2(16*a) = log2(16) + log2(a)
	exp	1.0,0.0		; 16*a = 2**(4+log2(a))	[x16 gain]

sof MULTIPLIER, OFFSET

Scale ACC and then add an offset.

MULTIPLIER:	Real S1_14 or Unsigned 16bit integer
OFFSET:		Real S_10 or Unsigned 11bit integer
Assembly:	MULTIPLIER<<16 | OFFSET<<5 | 0b01101

Action:

ACC <- OFFSET + MULTIPLIER * ACC
PACC <- ACC

	sof	1.5,-0.4	; multiply acc by 1.5 and subtract 0.4

and VALUE

Perform a bitwise AND of ACC and VALUE

VALUE:		Real S_23 or Unsigned 24bit integer
Assembly:	VALUE<<8 | 0b01110

Action:

ACC <- ACC & VALUE
PACC <- ACC

Example:

	ldax	POT0		; load POT0 into ACC
	and	0x700000	; mask pot to 8 steps
	and	0		; clear ACC

clr

Perform a bitwise AND of ACC with zero - clearing ACC

Assembly:	0b01110

Action:

ACC <- 0
PACC <- ACC

Example:

	clr			; clear ACC
	rda	1234,1.0	; load delay[1234]

or VALUE

Perform a bitwise OR of ACC and VALUE

VALUE:		Real S_23 or Unsigned 24bit integer
Assembly:	VALUE<<8 | 0b01111

Action:

ACC <- ACC | VALUE
PACC <- ACC

Example:

	clr			; clear ACC
	or	-2.3427e-4	; load an immediate value into ACC
	or	0x0a40f1	; set specific bits in ACC

xor VALUE

Perform a bitwise XOR of ACC and VALUE

VALUE:		Real S_23 or Unsigned 24bit integer
Assembly:	VALUE<<8 | 0b10000

Action:

ACC <- ACC ^ VALUE
PACC <- ACC

Example:

	ldax	POT0		; load POT0
	and	0x7f0000	; mask off lower bits
	xor	0x150000	; compare with 0x150000
	skp	ZRO,equal	; if same, skip to equal
	xor	0x150000	; else restore original value

not

Perform a bitwise negation of ACC by XOR with 0xffffff.

Assembly:	0xffffff<<8 | 0b10000

Action:

ACC <- ~ACC
PACC <- ACC

Example:

	ldax	POT0		; load POT0
	not			; invert all bits

skp CONDITIONS, OFFSET

Skip over OFFSET instructions if all flagged CONDITIONS are met.

CONDITIONS:	Unsigned 5bit flags
OFFSET:		Unsigned 6bit integer or target label
Assembly:	CONDITIONS<<27 | OFFSET<<21 | 0b10001

Condition Flags:

NEG	0x01	ACC is less than zero
GEZ	0x02	ACC is greater than or equal to zero
ZRO	0x04	ACC is zero
ZRC	0x08	sign of ACC and PACC differ
RUN	0x10	Program has completed at least one iteration

Notes:

  • if no condition flags are set, the skip is always performed.

  • if OFFSET starts with a label, it is assumed to be a jump target, which should be present later in the program. An attempt to skip backward will raise an error:

     start:	clr
     	skp	0,start		; try to skip backward
    
     parse error: Target START does not follow SKP on line ...
    
  • the maximum possible skip offset is 63, an error will be generated if the named target is out of range:

     	skp	0,target
     	[>63 instructions]
     target: clr
    
     parse error: Offset from SKP to TARGET (0x40) too large on line ...
    
  • To force computation of an offset, wrap an expression in parentheses:

     EQU	three	3
     	skp	0,three+3	; error - three is not a target
    
     parse error: Unexpected OPERATOR + on line ...
     parse error: Undefined target THREE for SKP on line ...
    
     	skp	0,(three+3)	; ok, offset is evaluated as expression
    
  • if mutually exclusive conditions are specified, the skip is assembled but never performed, turning the instruction into NOP:

     	skp	NEG|ZRO,target	; ACC cannot be negative AND zero
    

Example:

	skp	0,target	; unconditionally skip to target
	ldax	ADCL		; read in ADCL
	ldax	REG0		; load a previous value
	skp	ZRC|NEG,target	; skip to target on positive zero crossing
	skp	RUN,1		; skip 1 instruction except on first run

jmp OFFSET

Perform an unconditional skip over OFFSET instructions.

OFFSET:		Unsigned 6bit integer or target label
Assembly:	OFFSET<<21 | 0b10001

Notes:

  • jmp is assembled as skp 0,OFFSET. See skp above for details on specifying jmp targets.

Example:

	jmp	target		; unconditionally skip to target
	jmp	3		; always skip over 3 instructions

nop

No operation, equivalent to skp 0,0. Use for padding, or blocking.

Assembly:	0b10001

Example:

	nop nop nop nop		; reserve 4 instruction slots

wlds LFO, FREQUENCY, AMPLITUDE

Adjust SIN LFO with coefficients FREQUENCY and AMPLITUDE.

LFO:		1bit integer (0 = SIN0 or 1 = SIN1)
FREQUENCY:	Unsigned 9bit integer
AMPLITUDE:	Real S_15 or Unsigned 15bit integer
Assembly:	LFO<<29 | FREQUENCY<<20 | AMPLITUDE<<5 | 0b10010

Notes:

  • FREQUENCY coefficient is related to LFO rate (f) in Hz by the following:

     FREQUENCY = int (2**18 * pi * f / Fs)
     f = FREQUENCY * Fs / (2**18 * pi)
    

    Where Fs is the sample rate. For a 32768Hz crystal, the SIN LFO ranges from 0Hz up to about 20Hz.

  • AMPLITUDE coefficient specifies the peak-to-peak amplitude of the LFO in delay samples, and may be entered using a real value. Negative amplitudes work as with SINx_RANGE register.

  • The frequency and amplitude of SIN LFOs can also be set by writing to registers: SIN0_RATE, SIN0_RANGE, SIN1_RATE, and SIN1_RANGE.

Example:

	wlds	SIN0,511,1	; Set SIN0 to 20Hz, amplitude 1 sample
	wlds	SIN1,1,0x7fff	; Set SIN1 to 0.04Hz and full delay length
	or	0.5
	wrax	SIN0_RATE,0.0	; Set SIN0 to ~10Hz
	ldax	POT0
	wrax	SIN0_RANGE,0.0	; Set SIN0 range from POT0

wldr LFO, FREQUENCY, AMPLITUDE

Adjust RMP LFO with coefficients FREQUENCY and AMPLITUDE.

LFO:		1bit integer (0 = RMP0 or 1 = RMP1)
FREQUENCY:	Real S_15 or Signed 16bit integer
AMPLITUDE:	2bit integer (0=4096, 1=2048, 2=1024, 3=512)
Assembly:	(LFO|0x2)<<29 | FREQUENCY<<13 | AMPLITUDE<<5 | 0b10010

Notes:

  • LFO may also be set using pre-defined labels RMP0 and RMP1.

  • AMPLITUDE may also be set by entering one of the specific integer values: 4096, 2048, 1024 or 512.

  • FREQUENCY may be entered using a real value, which has the same interpretation as the RMPx_RATE register.

  • The frequency and amplitude of RMP LFOs can also be set by writing to registers: RMP0_RATE, RMP0_RANGE, RMP1_RATE, and RMP1_RANGE.

Example:

	wldr	RMP0,32767,0	; Set RMP0 to max rate, 4096 amplitude
	wldr	RMP1,-1923,512	; Set RMP1 to 512 and a negative frequency

jam LFO

Reset specified ramp LFO to start.

LFO:		1bit integer (0 = RMP0 or 1 = RMP1)
Assembly:	(LFO|0x2)<<6 | 0b10011

Note:

  • LFO may also be set using pre-defined labels RMP0 and RMP1.

Example:

	jam	RMP0		; reset RMP0 lfo

cho rda, LFO, FLAGS, ADDRESS

Read from delay memory at ADDRESS + offset (LFO) according to FLAGS, multiply the result by coeff (LFO) and accumulate.

LFO:		2bit integer (SIN0, SIN1, RMP0 or RMP1)
FLAGS:		6bit integer flags
ADDRESS:	Real S_15 or Unsigned 16bit integer
Assembly:	FLAGS<<24 | LFO<<21 | ADDRESS<<5 | 0x10100

Action:

ACC <- ACC + coeff (LFO) * delay[ADDRESS + offset (LFO)]
PACC <- ACC

Flags:

COS	0x01	use cosine output of SIN LFO 
REG	0x02	'register' LFO state (see note below)
COMPC	0x04	complement coefficient: 1 - coeff (LFO) 
COMPA	0x08	complement address offset: 1 - offset (LFO)
RPTR2	0x10	use second, half-off ramp 
NA	0x20	offset (LFO) = 0.0, coeff (LFO) = crossfade coefficient

Notes:

  • offset (LFO) is the coarse LFO delay offset, based on flag settings to a whole sample

  • coeff (LFO) is an interpolation coefficient, based on flag settings and the LFO fine position between whole samples

  • the first use of cho in a program with any LFO must include the REG flag in order to 'register' the LFO state and get valid data

  • flags that are not relevant for the chosen LFO or cho mode are ignored

Example:

	cho	rda,SIN0,REG|COMPC,20	; load first half of interpolation
	cho	rda,SIN0,0,21		; add second half of interpolation

cho sof, LFO, FLAGS, OFFSET

Multiply ACC by coeff (LFO), and add OFFSET.

LFO:		2bit integer (SIN0, SIN1, RMP0 or RMP1)
FLAGS:		6bit integer flags (see cho rda)
OFFSET:		Real S_15 or Unsigned 16bit integer
Assembly:	0x2<<30 | FLAGS<<24 | LFO<<21 | OFFSET<<5 | 0x10100

Action:

ACC <- coeff (LFO) * ACC + OFFSET
PACC <- ACC

Example:

	ldax	ADCL			; load AD
	cho	sof,RMP0,REG|COMPC|NA,0	; tremolo - scale ACC by RMP0 xfade

cho rdal, LFO [, FLAGS]

Read the specified LFO address offset value into ACC according to optional FLAGS. If FLAGS are omitted, a default value of REG (0x2) is assembled.

LFO:		2bit integer (SIN0, SIN1, RMP0 or RMP1)
FLAGS:		6bit integer flags (see cho rda and notes)
Assembly:	0x3<<30 | FLAGS<<24 | LFO<<21 | 0x10100

Action:

ACC <- ACC + offset (LFO)
PACC <- ACC

Notes:

  • REG flag must be set in order to get a meaningful value in ACC value (this is the default if FLAGS are omitted)

  • Only COS flag has any affect on the instruction, and only when used with SIN LFO.

Example:

	cho	rdal,SIN0,REG	; load the SIN value and 'register' LFO
	wrax	DACL,0.0	; output to left channel
	cho	rdal,SIN0,COS	; load the COS value
	wrax	DACR,0.0	; output to right channel

raw U32

Copy the unsigned 32 bit value in U32 directly to the output program.

U32:		Unsigned 32bit integer
Assembly:	U32

Example:

	raw	0x4000000f	; manually assemble "or 0.5"
	skp	0,1		; skip over the next instruction
	raw	0xa899fbda	; place a signature in the binary
