Description
Learn to program the Propeller in Spin and C and how to map the Propeller Assembler (PASM) language from other high-level languages you might know.
The overall task you will pursue in the book is to implement a Delta Compression algorithm: first in Spin, then in PASM, then in C. Along the way, you'll review test driven development, a powerful technique for validating code, and conclude with a chapter on hardware manipulations. The book's main goal is to help you extend the capabilities of the Propeller processor by using the assembler language.
What You'll Learn
Those who are familiar with Spin programming for the Parallax Propeller but have an interest in learning Propeller C and Propeller Assembler (PASM) programming. Some knowledge of C or Python is also helpful.
About the Author
Dr. Sridhar Anandakrishnan is a Professor of Glaciology and Geophysics at Pennsylvania State University where he studies the flow of glaciers in Antarctica and Greenland. Sridhar uses the Propeller chip in a seismic data acquisition device that we use "On The Ice" as they say!

What You'll Learn
- Use a data compression/decompression application to introduce PASM to the reader
- Integrate C and PASM code
- Review hardware interactions (setting and reading pins)
