Question
Write an ARM assembly program that tallies the number of 0s,1s, 2s … 9s in the DCB array sourceArray and stores the 10 number counts in a 10-element word array starting at location 0x40000000. For example, the 0s count will be in location 0x40000000, the 1s count will be in location 0x40000004, etc. Your code must initialize each element of the “count” array to zero.
Use the following data definitions in your program.
sourceArray DCB 2,4,6,6,0,1,4,8,3,0,3,1,2,2,5,2,2,3, 8,1
DCB 9,1,5,3,4,2,6,7,8,9,0,4,4,3,2,3,6,5,4,5,6,7
DCB 4,1,2,1,4,6,7,6,3,3,2,6,8,9,9,9,1,4,2,3,4,5
sourceArraySize DCB (sourceArraySize-sourceArray)
I realize this has been previously posted, however, I am not sure my assembly is the same syntax as what has been posted. Here is an example of our last assignment:
GLOBAL reset_handler
AREA RESET, CODE, READONLY
ENTRY
reset_handler
LDR r1,=0x120A760C ;loading value that we are trying to find the number of bits set to 0
MOV r3,#32 ;setting register 3 to 32 so that in the loop there is a count down
loop MOV r2,#1 ;setting register r2 to 1 every iteration of the loop
AND r2,r1 ;this is putting register 2 and register one together
CMP r2,#0 ;comparing register 2 to the number 0
ADDEQ r0,r0,#1 ;add 1 to register 0 if register 2 is equal to 0
LSR r1,r1,#1 ;shifting one bit in register 1 to the right each iteration of loop
SUB r3,r3,#1 ;subtracting 1 from register 3, which is 32, so that the loop ends after 32 iterations
CMP r3,#0 ;comparing r3 to 0 to be able to exit loop
BNE loop ;exiting loop
stop B stop
END
I have the code exactly as posted previously, however, it will not build. I am assuming this is because the assembly language we use it not quite the same. We are unable to use FOR_INIT, FOR_CMP, END_FOR, LENGTH, and a lot of the text commands as seen in the previously posted code. I am also confused as to why the code does not have these values:
DCB 2,4,6,6,0,1,4,8,3,0,3,1,2,2,5,2,2,3, 8,1
DCB 9,1,5,3,4,2,6,7,8,9,0,4,4,3,2,3,6,5,4,5,6,7
DCB 4,1,2,1,4,6,7,6,3,3,2,6,8,9,9,9,1,4,2,3,4,5
I would have thought they are necessary as the point is to tally each number and place them in location 0x40000000 and 0x00000004 and so forth.
Here are the errors that I am encountering.

Target not created.
I believe my compiler, Keil uVision 5, along with the flavor of assembly we are using, is the reason it will not compile. I was wondering if there is another way to go about programming this that aligns with the version I use?
Here is the code that will not compile:
SUB r2, r2, #1
MOV r6, #0
FOR_INIT MOV r1, #0
ADR r3, ARRAY
FOR_CMP CMP r1, r2
BGT END_FOR
LDR r4, [3], #4
n ARRAY
ADD r6, r6, r4
ADD r1, r1, #1
B FOR_CMP
END_FOR
STR r6, SUM
STOP B STOP
AREA SUMARRAY, DATA, READWRITE
ALIGN
SUM DCB 0xFFFFFFFF
ARRAY 5,10,15,20,30,40,50
LENGTH DCB 7
END
Explanation / Answer
SourceCode:
Please find my answer. Your code is not visible(image posted):
; SUM = 0 (uses r6 for sum)
; for I = 0 to LENGTH - 1 do (uses r1 for I)
; SUM = SUM + ARRAY[I] (uses r3 for address of
A[I])
; end for
AREA SUMARRAY, CODE, READONLY
ENTRY ; Always needed to indicate where to start pgm
LDR r2, LENGTH
SUB r2, r2, #1 ; r2 contains (LENGTH-1)
MOV r6, #0 ; r6 sum set to 0
FOR_INIT MOV r1, #0 ; r1 index I set to 0
ADR r3, ARRAY ; start r3 with address of A[0]
FOR_CMP CMP r1, r2 ; compare I and (LENGTH-1)
BGT END_FOR ; drop out of loop if I < (LENGTH-1)
LDR r4, [r3],#4 ; load r4 with A[I] then walk r3 dow
n ARRAY
ADD r6, r6, r4 ; update sum with A[I]
ADD r1, r1, #1 ; increment I
B FOR_CMP ; loop back to for-loop check
END_FOR
STR r6, SUM ; store result in SUM
STOP B STOP
AREA SUMARRAY, DATA, READWRITE
ALIGN
SUM DCD 0XFFFFFFFF
ARRAY DCD 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50
LENGTH DCD 7
END ; Needed to stop assembly
