Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design an ISR that counts how many times a button is pressed using RST 7.5. How would you implement this in assembly?

💡 Hint: Think about using registers to store the count value.

Question 2

Given a 2MHz clock, configure the 8254 timer to create a 20ms delay using Mode 0. What initial count do you need?

💡 Hint: Utilize the formula and make sure to consider the maximum limit of the counter.
