How to learn sparc assembler?

[Sam Ravnborg]

Hi all.

I am missing sparc assembler skills.

Do you have any good pointer or recommendations
to learn sparc assembler?

If there is a good sparc book I am also all ears!
Especially if you have a spare copy...

I can follow the basic flow in the *.S files
in arch/sparc/* but I am running short of my
capabilites when I have to write something myself :-(

	Sam

Hi Sam,

I'm not sure I'd call them easy reading but the V8 and V9 manuals tell 
you all about the instruction set.

Freely downloadable from sparc.org

Thanks Richard.

I already had these - but seems I have to read them more carefully!
