Electronic-and-Computer-Engineering / mic-1-hdl

A hardware implementation of the MIC-1 processor architecture invented by Andrew S. Tanenbaum.

MIC-1

Verilog description of a MIC-1 based CPU.

Introduction

This repository contains the work for a study project at the FH Joanneum.

The CPU is designed to work with Vivado and yosys/nextpnr. It is tested to work on both the Basys-3 and the iCEBreaker FPGA boards.

Simulation

These instructions refer to simulation using Icarus Verilog and bitstream generation using yosys/nextpnr.

To run a behavioral simulation:

make simulation-iverilog

To run a gatelevel simulation:

make simulation-iverilog-gatelevel

To flash the bitstream to the iCEBreaker board:

make prog

Repository
