+\subsection{Assembler Syntax}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{Immediates}: decimal \texttt{12345}, hex \texttt{0xabcde123},
+binary \texttt{0b10101110}\\
+If an immediate is to large for the given instruction the assembler terminates
+with an error
+
+\item \textbf{High and Low Half Word}: you can use the suffix \texttt{@hi} to
+access the upper 16 bit of an immediate, or \texttt{@lo} to access the lower 16
+bit.
+
+\item \textbf{Memory access}: to access data on an address which is located in a
+register, you have to write \texttt{0(rS)}. Alternatively you can specify
+a signed displacement.
+
+\item \textbf{Expressions}: Usual expressions like \texttt{+}, \texttt{-},
+\texttt{*} or \texttt{<<} will be evaluated by the assembler, e.g. \texttt{ldw
+r1, 0x20-8(r3)} is a valid instruction
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsubsection{Directives}
+In order to gain extra comfort, several directives are interpreted by the
+assembler:
+\begin{table}[ht]
+ \centering
+ \begin{tabular}{|l|p{10cm}|} \hline
+ Name & Description \\ \hline
+ \texttt{.data} & subsequent data is desired for the data memory\\ \hline
+ \texttt{.text} & subsequent code is desired for the instruction memory\\ \hline
+ \verb+.include "file.s"+ & include a further file \\ \hline
+ \texttt{.define <name> <value>} & define a constant. Note that a define
+ isn't equal to a label\\ \hline
+ \texttt{label: <instr/data>} & label an instruction or data. The label
+ can be used as an alias for the address of this instruction in the
+ instruction memory or as a reference in the data memory, depending on
+ the current section\\ \hline
+ %TODO: those are maybe handy: .fill(
