Chapter 4
Macro Assembler
The Macro Assembler included with HI-TECH PICC STD assembles source files for PIC MCUs.
This chapter describes the usage of the assembler and the directives (assembler pseudo-ops and
controls) accepted by the assembler in the source files.
and an object code converter.
4.1 Assembler Usage
The assembler is called ASPIC and is available to run on Windows, Linux and Mac OS systems. Note
that the assembler will not produce any messages unless there are errors or warnings — there are no
“assembly completed” messages.
assembler source files as input, however the options for the assembler are supplied here for instances
The HI-TECH C Macro Assembler package includes a linker, librarian, cross reference generator
Typically the command-line driver, PICC, is used to envoke the assembler as it can be passed
Athough the term “assembler” is almost universally used to decribe the tool which con-
verts human-readable mnemonics into machine code, both “assembler” and “assembly”
are used to describe the source code which such a tool reads. The latter is more com-
mon and is used in this manual to describe the language. Thus you will see the terms
assembly language (or just assembly), assembly listing and etc, but assembler options,
assembler directive and assembler optimizer.
