Worksheet 3 Embedded systems and
instructions sets
Unit 3 Computer architecture and storage

(b) A very common computer architecture and instruction set is the 8086 instruction set.
Although it was developed for an Intel processor in 1978, it is the basis of the x86 CPU
architecture which current Intel processors are based on.
Search for the ‘8086 instruction set’ or the ‘x86 instruction set’. Find at least three
instructions that are available in the instruction set and explain what they do. One
instruction has been given as an example.
Some websites that may help with researching the 8086 instruction set include:
• https://jbwyatt.com/253/emu/8086_instruction_set.html
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_instruction_listings
• https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/0471733520.app8

Instruction Explanation Example


ADD REG, Adds a memory location to the ADD AL, 3
memory current value in a register.
This instruction adds 3 to the
current value of AL. This is
the equivalent of:
AL  AL + 3
