# TDT4258 - Lowlevel Programming
|
|

|
[Course link][tdt4258]
|
|
|
|
## Exercise 1
|
|
|
|
For this exercise, we were tasked with writing a palindrome finder in assembly.
|
|
|
|
The code should be able to run on a [DE1-SoC][de1soc] emulator, that can be found at [CPUlator][cpulator].

## Exercise 2 - Cache Simulator
|
|
|
|
In this exercise, we were tasked with writing a cache simulator.
|
|
|
|
This should run on almost any machine with a proper C compiler.
|
|
|
|
There is a Makefile and a python script included, which builds both release and debug versions of the program, and tests it with some hardcoded values.
|
|
|
|
Run the tests by executing:
|
|
|
|
```command
|
|
user@<...>/ex2 $ make test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Haskell variant
|
|
|
|
I tried writing a haskell clone of this program just for fun, but I ended up never finishing it.
|
|
|
|
The code exists within a separate folder.
|
|
|
|
## Exercise 3 - Tetris on Raspberry Pi
|
|
|
|
NOTE: You will need a Raspberry Pi with a [sense hat][sense-hat] to run this code.
|
|
|
|
For this exercise, we were tasked with making an existing tetris program run on a sense hat, by writing directly to a Linux framebuffer, and reading joystick input from the Linux input driver.
|
|
|
|
Move both the Makefile and the code over to the raspberry pi before running.
