Logic Design

  • To test the validity of boolean function, a simple Python program can be of great help.

def xor( a, b ):
    return a and (not b) or (not a ) and b 

def candidate( b3, b2, b1, b0 ):
    return b2 and b3 and not (b0 and b1) \
        or b0 and b1 and not (b2 and b3) \
        or xor( b0, b1) and xor( b2, b3 )

def main():
    print "  a  b  c  d |  f   "
    print "------------+------"

Mystery Program

  • The program prints a quote attributed to Kurt Cobain: "Practice makes perfect... but nobody's perfect... so why practice?"

Testing the Mystery Program


  • To test the programs, the hexadecimal dump of the object file of the original program was compared to the hexadecimal dump of the object file of your version.
  • Assume that hw2_mystery.solution.asm is the orginal that you have to recreate, and assume that hw2c.asm is your program:
nasm -f elf hw2c.asm
hexdump -C hw2c.o | tail -190 | head -40 > hw2c.lst

nasm -f elf hw2_mystery.solution.asm
hexdump -C hw2_mystery.solution.o | tail -190 | head -40 > hw2_mystery.solution.lst

diff -y hw2_mystery.solution.lst  hw2c.lst
  • The output is shown below. When only 1 vertical bar separates the two columns, then the program on the left matches the program on the right. When double vertical bars appear, there is a difference between the two programs. Visual inspection will indicate where the problem bytes are...
