Looking for references on sparc assembly language

Looking for references on sparc assembly language

[Art Haas]

Hi.

Like the subject stated, I'm looking for sparc assembly language
references. My goal is to be able to read and understand a good bit of
the various '.S' files used in the sparc port. I downloaded a number of
PDF files from Sun - one is an assembly language reference, another is
the V8 manual. Using these two documents I've been able to make sense of
some of the files, but there is stil much to learn. What other materials
do people on the list recommend?

I read "A Laboratory Manual for the SPARC". It's college class material,
and was really useful. Even points to the isem, which is a sparc
emulator, just enough to run sparc-a.out code.
