• Emacs Quick Reference Sheet
• emacsreference.pdf (57.23 Kb)
• This sheet provides a comprehensive list of commands that can be used in the editor emacs. This list is particularly useful if you are working with the non-graphical version of emacs.

• Assembly Programming Under Linux
• LinuxEvironment.pdf (1.22 Mb)
• Here is a document that provides a detailed overview on the process and commands to be used for assembly language programming using the Linux operating system. The document covers the process of:
  1. Start X-Server (Xming) on your computer.
  2. SSH to the Linux server and login using PuTTY.
  3. Use shell commands to:
     1. Create a working directory (to ease file organization) the first time.
     2. Change current working directory to your course directory.
  4. Type your assembly program using emacs
     1. Emacs is a general purpose, graphical text editor that also provides a specialized environment for debugging programs using the GNU debugger (gdb).
  5. Assemble your source code using the GNU assembler (as)
     1. Use emacs to fix any syntax errors in your program.
  6. Link your source code using the GNU linker (ld) to generate the final executable
  7. Run the executable from the shell prompt
  8. Test, troubleshoot, and bug fix your programs
     1. You will need to run your program several times, thoroughly test your programs, and fix any semantic errors (aka bugs) in your program.
     2. For troubleshooting and debugging your program, you can run the GNU debugger (gdb) in emacs and step through each instruction in your assembly program verifying its operation(s).
