ORPSoCv2 does not implement overflow for l.add #101

Hi Jeremy,

That is correct. Overflow is not implemented at all in the OR1200. I added this in the new code, but it will take a while before all of that is working.

<p> Hi Richard </p> <p> Thanks for the update. I look forward to seeing the new code. </p> <p> For testing you may like to know that Or1ksim does implement overflow (and overflow exceptions in SR) in the current SVN tree. It will shortly have that implemented for all arithmetic operations, together with matching tests which should be reusable. </p> <p> Jeremy </p>

Has this been tested in hardware yet?
