While the documentation can be hard for a novice, it's actually one of the reasons I like low-level programming. If the docs exist, they are generally clear and concise: Instruction mnemonic, parameters, result, flags, maybe number of cycles. That's about all you need to use the information effectively. It also makes browsing the documentation easy if you're a nerd like me who flips open specs and standards to read random sections and learn something new.
- scruple 4y agoOne of my favorite experiences was programming for a TI MSP430 uC. My memory is that the reference documentation was outstanding, though that was true of all of the chips I worked with in embedded.
- Jtsummers 4y agoI have never worked with that one for real, but I did look up the docs while playing around with Micro Corruption years ago. And yeah, it had good documentation. https://microcorruption.com/ https://microcorruption.com/
