VHDL微处理器/微控制器

Posted 2021-04-26

我正在学习在Xilinx（VHDL）上编写代码。接下来，我想制作一个简单的微处理器/微控制器，并在此过程中了解切片组件。所以我的目标是尝试使用AMD 2901（4位片）对8位微处理器进行编码。 （我已经拥有了2901的代码及其有关输入和输出信号的所有信息。）

我知道第一步是制作微处理器的架构，所以我最终得到了这样的东西（我知道总线的带宽将与我正在寻找的东西非常不同）。

http://www.cs.binghamton.edu/~reckert/wk15fig1.JPG（基本上我所知道的微处理器和微控制器我从这里得到它http://www.cs.binghamton.edu/~reckert/hardwire3new.html）

所以这是准时问题：

1. 如图所示，我如何编写中央总线代码？如何使用图中央大总线“监听”和“写”我的内存和组件？
2. 我想使用2901 ALU（其中两个），所以我有一个8位微处理器。问题是：假设我的操作码使用xxxxx001（其中x是控制信号，001表示为ALU添加）用于ALU上的添加功能，所以......因为我有一个切片ALU我的操作码应该是xxxxx001001给的对两个ALU的指令？或者ALU应该共享相同的“001”命令？ （我想可以知道如何在VHDL中使用总线，使两个端口“监听”或其他东西。）
3. 如果您可以与我分享一些教程或链接信息，可以帮助我实现我的目标，这将是非常棒的。我搜索了很多，发现的信息非常少。

答案

这个答案是关于你问题的第3部分。

你可能会发现看看the MCPU project很有用。它是77行VHDL代码中的8位CPU。因为作者已经将整个设计挤压成32个宏单元，所以在某些地方代码有点棘手，但the design document有所帮助。

我还创建了一个针对代码可读性的重构版本，包含在下面。请注意，我不是该项目的原作者 - 所有荣誉都归TimBöscke所有。
