Bcd Commands [cracked] Link

seconds = rtc_read(0x00); // BCD 0x45 = 45 sec // Convert to binary for computation: bin_sec = ((seconds >> 4) * 10) + (seconds & 0x0F); Multiplexed displays often receive BCD directly from a 74LS47 decoder. Processor outputs BCD values to port. 5.3 Financial/Cash Registers Currency amounts must be exact to the cent. BCD arithmetic prevents floating-point errors:

ld a, $45 add a, $27 daa ; A becomes $72 The Z80 DAA uses carry and half-carry flags to correct the accumulator. ARM (especially Thumb and Cortex-M) does not have dedicated BCD arithmetic instructions. BCD operations must be implemented via software routines, using bit manipulation and conditional addition/subtraction. bcd commands

uint8_t bcd_add(uint8_t a, uint8_t b) uint16_t sum = (a & 0x0F) + (b & 0x0F) + (((a >> 4) + (b >> 4)) << 4); if ((sum & 0x0F) >= 10) sum += 6; if ((sum >> 4) >= 10) sum += 0x60; return (uint8_t)sum; seconds = rtc_read(0x00); // BCD 0x45 = 45
