Yep this has allready been done (e.g. Google 'Java Processor'). Ok, you can find it also at operncores: http://www.opencores.org/projects.cgi/web/jop/overview

depends on your assignment ;-)

Martin

hello ppl...

i am working on a project which involves designing of a "hardware JVM"
or a java native processor. can any1 give me any vhdl codes or any
kind of headway in this regard?

should i design the complete processor (complete with fetch,decode
etc. units) or should i just extend the capabilities of an existing SoC?
in latter case, how to do that?

i would also request some1 to give me a source where i can learn the
very basics of SoC, fpga etc...

thanx...(its urgent)

hi martin,

thanx...but i am a newbie at this stuff and need to know the basics of
fpga design using vhdl, arch of fpga, concepts of SoC before jumping
in....actually i have downloaded the JOP from jopdesign.com but can't
seem to get it through my head....

i need to know a step-by-step approach to designing a java processor
coz i wanna work on my own...

't would be great if u could help me out with that....


thanx....
