🎓 Course Title: Write Your First Assembly Language Program and Run It on an Emulator with Jesse Licouri

🚀 Course Headline: Master the Foundations of Assembly Language and Run Your Code on the Bochs Emulator!

Unlock the Secrets of Assembly Language 🕰️

Welcome to the world of assembly language, where you'll learn how to communicate directly with your computer's hardware. In this comprehensive course, we'll embark on a journey to understand the inner workings of machine code and how it transforms into a running program. By the end of this course, you'll be able to write, compile, and execute your very own assembly language program using the powerful Bochs emulator!

What You'll Learn:

• Introduction to Assembly and Machine Language: We'll start by demystifying what assembly language is and how it relates to machine language.

  • Understanding the correspondence between high-level code and low-level machine instructions.

• Writing Your First Assembly Program: Step-by-step guidance to write a simple yet effective program.

  • Learning the basic syntax and structure of assembly code.
  • Crafting your own program that performs a meaningful task.

From Source to Executable:

• The Compilation Process: We'll navigate through the process of translating an assembly source file into an executable file using:

  • Assembler to convert our high-level instructions into an object file.
  • Linker to combine all necessary components into a single executable file.

• Setting Up Your Development Environment: You'll learn how to install and configure the Linux Desktop environment, specifically Ubuntu, and become proficient with essential Linux commands.

  • Installing and configuring the GNU assembler and linker.
  • Using objdump to examine the contents of our object files.

• Scripting for Automation: Discover how to write a simple script file to automate repetitive tasks.

Deep Dive into Low-Level Concepts:

• Hexadecimal, Disassembly & Instruction Set Architecture: Gain insights into binary representation, the process of translating assembly code into machine code, and understanding the different components of a computer's CPU.

  • Exploring hexadecimal for better control over data manipulation.

• Booting, BIOS & Bootloaders: Learn about the Power on Self Test (POST), Read Only Memory (ROM), legacy BIOS, and Master Booting Block (MBB).

  • Understanding how your computer boots up and initializes its hardware.

• RAM, Interrupts & ASCII: Dive into Random Access Memory (RAM) management, interrupt handling, and ASCII character encoding.

  • Managing memory effectively to run your program.

Running Your Program on Bochs Emulator:

• Setting Up Bochs: We'll cover the installation process of Bochs, including the configuration and running of virtual machines.

  • Learning how to configure Bochs to emulate different hardware setups.

• Execution & Debugging: Gain hands-on experience in executing your assembly program within the Bochs emulator and debug common issues.

  • Using Bochs's built-in tools for a smooth debugging process.

By the End of This Course, You Will:

• Have a solid understanding of the basics of Linux commands and system operations.
• Be able to write, compile, and execute an assembly program using the Bochs emulator.
• Have a foundational grasp of low-level computer concepts that will serve as a stepping stone for further exploration into operating systems and beyond.
