This lecture covers the assembly duality between microcontrollers and assemblers, focusing on programming steps, bit operations, logical instructions, masking techniques, macros, subroutines, and stack management. It explains how to generate .hex files, program memory, set bit values, perform logical operations, and extend the instruction set using macros. The instructor demonstrates the use of wait loops, logical operations on bits, and subroutine branching. Additionally, the lecture addresses interrupt vectors, accessible memory areas, and stack pointer initialization. Emphasis is placed on the efficient utilization of assembly language for microcontroller programming.
