These are resources to aid users in learning assembler as it relates to Minix. Note: the prerequisite for this is knowing C. If you do not already know C, you'll save yourself many headaches by doing this first.

• Use the compiler - Write a simple C program that demonstrates what you want to do, then translate it to assembly with:$ cc -S myprogram.c
• Dr. Paul Carter’s Assembly Tutorial - http://drpaulcarter.com/pcasm/
• Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manuals - http://www.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/
• Other Resources (see Learning Assembly in MINIX)

These are just some examples of assembly for Minix.
