Addressing Modes
Aims
To review 68000 data transfer instructions and applying the more advanced addressing modes.

Intended Learning Outcomes
At the end of this module, students should be able to

Understand:
Address register indirect addressing modes (4 variations) Program Counter addressing modes (2 variations)

At the beginning we review some of the addressing modes:
Register indirect addressing mode Immediate addressing mode Absolute long addressing mode Inherent addressing mode

Review: Immediate Addressing Mode Examples
•Immediate: an actual number X is provided. MOVE.B #12, D2 Registers D2 AABB CC0C D3 A0 FFFF EEEE 0000 2000

Registers D2 AABB CCDD D3 A0 FFFF EEEE 0000 2000 MOVE.W #$12, D2

Registers D2 AABB 0012 D3 A0 FFFF EEEE 0000 2000
