Selected in-class handouts and code segments:

• Original bubble sort routine:
  • C program
  • assembly listing for Quartus version 10.1
  • assembly listing for Quartus version 12.0
  If you wish to step through this code using the DE0 and the handout, make sure you remove the -O1 option when configuring the programming environment. For the 12.0 version, when you remove the -O1 option, keep the -g option.

• From the extra problems, the permute code. Remember this code does NOT have a branch at the end to loop back.

• Nios II register usage conventions and procedure call stack handout.

• The bubble sort code with a subroutine:
  • C program
  • assembly listing for Quartus version 10.1
  • assembly listing for Quartus version 12.0
  Again, remember that the listings above do not use the -O1 option.

• Ascii character codes handout.
