Question

3.2 Signed multiplication Assume that a signed long multiplication instruction is not available. Write a program that performs long multiplications, producing 64 bits of result. Use only the UMULL instruction and logical operations such as MVN to invert, EOR, and ORR. Run the program using the two operands -2 and -4 to verify.

Step 1

First, we need to load the two operands into registers. Let's use registers r0 and r1 for the first operand (-2) and registers r2 and r3 for the second operand (-4). ``` MOV r0, #-2 MOV r1, #0 MOV r2, #-4 MOV r3, #0 ``` Show more…
