I want make counter program for 8051 controller in assembly that count 0 to 9 I know I have to use counter, timer, interrupt routine , instruction set ( mov, add INC DEC....) now problem is that I have no idea how to start please anyone will help me to write code

Right O... I'll be at home in about an hour...

I'll put a skeletal ASM program together ( actually I already have one ) and post it soon..

ok can you tell me what is the use of register bank and SFR in ram i think register bank is used to store location of data
and don't know about SFR
 
I just put this together

Its a start at least..
Code: 
RS     BIT P3.1        ; LCD
RW     BIT P3.2        ; Constants
E     BIT P3.0        ;
BZ    BIT P1.7        ; busy flag

    org     0h        ; reset vector
    sjmp    Start

    org    20h        ; jump over vectors

We'll do some interrupts later..

hello ion, this code is very difficult to understand me where you used interrupt subroutine where is timer mode i have read to write counter program we need interrupt timer mode
 
I said we'll do that later... I need you to understand the code for the LCD first..
As we introduce interrupts I can explain the timer and the external count!

Which assembler do you want to use... I would recommend ASEM51...

I have purposely used the INT pins so you can see what happens when you design systems... You can have a PCB made, then find out you need to use alternate pins for something else...

I will show you an interrupt routine first.... Then I will see if you can integrate the two

Code: 
countl    equ    20h
counth    equ    21h

    org     0h        ; reset vector
    sjmp    Start

    org    03h        ; Ex0 interrupt
    sjmp    ISR

    org    20h        ; jump over vectors
;
; Start of code
;---------------------------------
Start:
    setb    P3.2        ; INT0 as input
    setb    IT0        ; Set level of interrupt
    mov    IE,#081h    ; Global On : INT0 On..
  
While:  

    sjmp    While        ; forever loop

ISR:
    mov    A,countl    ; get counter low byte
    mov    B,counth    ; get counter high byte
    add    A,#1        ; increase counter low
    jnc    non        ; are we at 255
    inc    b        ; yes! increase Counter high
non:    mov    countl,A    ; store Low
    mov    counth,B    ; store High
    clr    IE0        ; ensure flag off.
    reti            ; return from interrupt..

    end
Tell me if you understand this.... If not I'll go through it with you..
 
first thanks for help' can you explain with theory I want to understand some basic things that is used in every counter program I want to understand what basic instruction I need to use to create every counter program in theory I have read loading data transfer arithmetic logic instruction I know how to make loop, labels directives I want to create some basic algorithm for counter program for begainer
 
Well just look at the code I posted..

The counter is incremented on the high to low transition on P3.2 (INT0) pin.
If the countl variable overflows, the counth variable is incremented, thus giving a 16 bit counter.

Next we need a BCD routine to be able to print the count to a screen..

You can also use a built in timer as a counter... If you just want to count with a register then the simplest command is inc A This just increases Acc by one...
 
As Far as I know,
.MODEL SMALL
.STACK 100H

.DATA
PROMPT DB 'The counting from 0 to 9 is : $'

.CODE
MAIN PROC
MOV AX, @DATA
MOV DS, AX
LEA DX, PROMPT
MOV AH, 9
INT 21H
MOV CX, 10
MOV AH, 2
MOV DL, 48
loop:
INT 21H
INC DL
DEC CX
JNZ loop
MOV AH, 4CH
INT 21H
MAIN ENDP
END MAI
