How to open an ASM file

by

The reason you are here is that you have a file with a .asm file extension. Certain applications are the only ones that can open files ending in .asm.

The ASM format can be used to store data containing assembly language code. Several text editing programs, including Microsoft WordPad and Notepad, can be used to access and edit this data.

The content contained in these ASM files can also be opened and viewed using text editing software for Macintosh computers.

These ASM files can be initialized and executed with assembler programs, which can include HLA, .asm, and other files ending in .asm.

Double-clicking any file on your computer, including .asm files, will open it. Your .asm file will open in the intended application if your file associations are configured properly.

Your .asm file will open in the intended application if your file associations are configured properly.

It’s also possible that although the correct program is installed on your computer, the .asm files aren’t yet linked to it. In this instance, you can instruct Windows as to which application is appropriate for a given file when you attempt to open a .asm file.

Take care not to change the extension of any other file, including .asm files. The file type won’t alter as a result. A file can only be converted from one type of file to another using specialized software.

The final three or four characters of a filename—in this example, .asm—are known as the file extension. File extensions identify the type of file and the Windows applications that can open it.

Four ASM openers have been found to work with this particular kind of ASM file.

Applications for opening these ASM files

However, what about reading an ASM file?

The procedures necessary to use the system calls are the same, as we previously discussed:

  1. In the EAX register, enter the system call number.
  2. Keep the system call arguments in the registers EBX, ECX, etc.
  3. Make the appropriate interrupt call (80h).
  4. Usually, the EAX register contains the result’s return.

To create and open a file, take the following actions:

  • Insert the eighth system call, sys_creat(), into the EAX register.

Let’s investigate what an ASM file is.

A program written in assembly language, a low-level programming language, is represented by an ASM file.
Writing code pertaining to hardware, like microcontroller programming, is its main application.
Text editors are used to write and edit ASM files, and assembler programs like HLA, MASM, FASM, NASM, or GAS are used to run them.
An assembler runs a series of instructions contained in ASM files to produce OBJECT CODE.
The resulting object code is the numerical representation of various mnemonic and addressing mode combinations.
Here is an example of an x86 architecture HELLO WORLD application.

Let’s investigate the meaning of the CAD ASM file extension.

One of the data file types that the Solid Edge CAD software uses is ASM (Solid Edge Assembly).
Assemblies comprise the 3D parts (.prt) found in files ending in .asm.
ASM only stores the connecting part rules; it does not store geometric information on its own.
ASM extension is supported by PTC Creo and Autodesk Fusion 360, two CAD programs.

  • Convert .asm, .par, and .psm Solid Edge files to 3D PDF (.pdf)
  • Convert ACIS (.sat, .sab) to Solid Edge (.asm, .par, and .psm)
  • Convert Open CASCADE (.brep) to Solid Edge (.asm, .par, and .psm)
