Sí, es ASM embebido dentro de un programa en C30.
Mira lo que dice el manual:
8.4 USING INLINE ASSEMBLY LANGUAGEWithin a C function, the asm statement may be used to insert a line of assembly
language code into the assembly language that the compiler generates. In-line
assembly has two forms: simple and extended.
In the simple form, the assembler instruction is written using the syntax:
asm ("instruction");
where instruction is a valid assembly-language construct. If you are writing inline
assembly in ANSI C programs, write __asm__ instead of asm.
In an extended assembler instruction using asm, the operands of the instruction are
specified using C expressions. The extended syntax is:
asm("template" [ : [ "constraint"(output-operand) [ , ... ] ]
[ : [ "constraint"(input-operand) [ , ... ] ]
[ "clobber" [ , ... ] ]
]
]);
You must specify an assembler instruction template, plus an operand constraint
string for each operand. The template specifies the instruction mnemonic, and
optionally placeholders for the operands. The constraint strings specify operand
constraints, for example, that an operand must be in a register (the usual case), or that
an operand must be an immediate value.
For example, here is how to use the dsPIC device’s swap instruction (which the
compiler does not generally use):
asm ("swap %0" : "+r"(var));
Here var is the C expression for the operand, which is both an input and an output
operand. The operand is constrained to be of type r, which denotes a register operand.
The + in +r indicates that the operand is both an input and output operand.
