Cpu Generator

Description

Cpugen (TM) generates customizable RISC cpu cores.
It allows direct customization of address/data/instruction bus size,
interrupt handling, indirect addressing, data/instruction latency
timings and custom instructions definition.
It is targeted to low size FPGAs, easy to use and getting started with.
GNU VHDL source code provided.

Features

1) Portability: vendor dependent blocks (ex. memory blocks) are kept separate from vendor independent logic. Customizable built-in assembler with data/instruction memory files generation; output file formats for the following environments: - Altera - Xilinx - binary - testbench 2) Configurability: In order to optimize logic resources and take advantage of FPGA flexibility; targeted to low size FPGAs; it permits to define: - address/data/instruction bus size - stack type/depth - interrupt - indirect address - data/instruction variable latency - custom instructions support 3) Graphical user interface:

4) Easy to use and getting started with: - Tutorial and example files are supplied with the package - Xilinx/Altera 4/8/16/32 bit cpu applications samples - GNU VHDL source code

Status

- Current release 2.0
- VHDL simulations
- Tested on Altera and Xilinx evaluation boards
- Test/debug currently in progress
