please i need to advice for 9s08 instruction about DIV

[kiwonlee]

seen to instruction  DIV is 16bit divide by 8bit division instruction. but result is store to 8bit ACCA only.

how can i using this instruction when real 16/8?

Hi. the instruction works like this: H:A / X. Must load the 16-bit value (dividend) in H:A as a single record and the divisor in X.

You can use the following:

Load H:X with LDHX instruction and pass the value of X to A. Then load X with the divider 8 bits.

Example:

          LDHX #4532

          TXA

          LDX  #34

          DIV

The cocient in ACCA the remainder in H. thus, leading to 0 in A is a decimal add to divide again

Ej2. another way:

          LDA  #45

          PSHA

          PULH

          LDA  #32

          LDX  #34

          DIV

EDiting: I saw a response HX / A. It's wrong. It's not how it works.

thanks, yong li,Edward

just catching usage of 8bit DIV instruction.

help from Edward's explanation.

Hi Ki Won Lee,

May be the below code could help you!

int x;

char y;

char z;

void main(void) {

...

  x= 300;

  y = 25;

  __asm {

      ldhx x;

      lda y;

      div

  }

...

}

thanks Yong li  interest my question. 

i would give you ask one more time.

in your example code set  x = 300 and y = 25  maybe get good result 12 in acca . what about y = 1?

acca result is 5?.....  i don't understand this instruction..

It is very similar to how kids divide 2-digits numbers by 1-digit number on paper. They divide first digit, and then (one only) digit remainder * 10 + next digit. Difference is that we have now bytes instead of decimal digits, rules of math are the same.

unsigned short num= 300;

unsigned char  denom = 25;

unsigned short quotient;

unsigned char remainder;

//DIV instruction   H:A / X = A, rem H

  __asm {

      ldx denom

      clrh

      lda num:0; // first digit

      div

      sta quotient:0

      lda num:1 // next digit

      div

      sta quotient:1

      pshh

     pula

     sta  remainder

  }

thanks Edward.

then when i using index register high  H ?
