I'm working on a HW assignment. I know what the code needs to do, but i'ts not quite bending to my will.

Can anyone comment on this with an idea about what my problem is? I think I know the problem.. but I'm not sure how to fix it.

Code:

ORG RAMStart
           
samples   dc.b    $01,$12,$F0,$33,$C9,$25,$E3,$08
psum      ds.b    1
nsum      ds.b    1
number    dc.b    $08
count     ds.b    1

           
; Insert here your data definition.



; code section
            ORG   ROMStart
Entry:
            ldab  samples
            ldx   number
start:     
           
            ldaa  1,b+
            tsta
            bmi   minus
            bpl   plus
           
           
           
minus:
            adda  nsum
            staa  nsum
           
            dex
            tst   #number
           
            bne   start
            bra   stop
           
           
plus:       
            adda  psum
            staa  psum
           
            dex
            tst   #number
           
            bne   start
            bra   stop
           
stop:
           
           
            RTS

Supposed to do:

The array sample contains 8 8-bit signed binary numbers (integers) as shown below. Write a
program which computes the sum of non-negative numbers and the sum of negative numbers, and
stores them psum and nsum, respectively. Your program should work for any 8 numbers
stored in samples. RAMStart=$0800 and ROMStart=$4000.
samples DC.B $01,$12,$F0,$33,$C9,$25,$E3,$08
psum DS.B 1
nsum DS.B 1

what does it do:
Not what it is supposed to. It only loops into the plus branch....

Problem:
not sure why it is doing this.

Updated Code:

Code:

ORG RAMStart
           
samples   dc.b    $01,$12,$F0,$33,$C9,$25,$E3,$08
psum      ds.b    1
nsum      ds.b    1
number    dc.b    $08


           
; Insert here your data definition.



; code section
            ORG   ROMStart
Entry:
            ldab  number
            ldx #samples
start:     
           
            ldaa  1,x-
            tsta
            bmi   minus
            bpl   plus
           
           
           
minus:
            adda  nsum
            staa  nsum
           
            decb
            tstb
           
            bne   start
            bra   stop
           
           
plus:       
            adda  psum
            staa  psum
           
            decb
            tstb
           
            bne   start
            bra   stop
           
stop:
           
           
            RTS

This code looks like it might have been designed for a micron. I'm guessing some flavor of Intel 8051.

Is it?

Nope, for a motorolla(freescale) HCS12 series

I got it working.. I had a post decrement when I needed a Post increment

Code:

ROMStart    EQU  $4000  ; absolute address to place my code/constant data
RAMStart    EQU  $0800
; variable/data section

            ORG RAMStart
           
samples   dc.b    $01,$12,$F0,$33,$C9,$25,$E3,$08
psum      ds.b    1
nsum      ds.b    1
number    dc.b    $08


           
; Insert here your data definition.



; code section
            ORG   ROMStart
Entry:
            ldab  number
            ldx #samples
start:     
           
            ldaa  1,x+
            tsta
           
            bmi   minus
            bpl   plus
           
           
           
minus:
            adda  nsum
            staa  nsum
           
            decb
            tstb
           
            bne   start
            bra   stop
           
           
plus:       
            adda  psum
            staa  psum
           
            decb

I wasn't sure. I "know" Intel assembly and that didn't look like it to me :)
