Overview
 
--------
 
The openFPU64 consists of several parts:
 
* openfpu64.vhd         - contains the bus logic for the avalon bus, instantiate your own algorithms here
 
* fpu_package.vhd       - global constants and defines
 
* fpu_add.vhd           - Add/Sub algorithms
 
* fpu_mul.vhd           - Multiplication Algorithm with several embedded Multipliers
 
* fpu_mul_single.vhd - Multiplication Algorithm with only one embedded Multiplier (currently in development, has some bugs)
 
 
 
To use it in the NiosII environment you have to use the driver/library in
 
* nios-driver
 
 
 
The testbench needs also
 
* openfpu64_tb.vhd      - Testframework, consists of openfpu64_tb.head.vhd, openfpu64_tb.tail.vhd and the actual testcases which reside in tests/ (untar tests.tar.bz2)
 
* eis_helpers.vhd       - some nice conversion functions for std_logic_vectors, provided by Prof. Dr. Gundolf Kiefer.

Of course there is still a lot to do, e.g. adding more documentation.
