Known bugs of the T48 uController core

======================================

Version: $Date: 2005-06-08 19:23:24 $

Release 0.5 BETA

----------------

*******************************************************************************

MSB of Program Counter changed upon PC increment

The current implementation of the Program Counter allows that the MSB (bit 11)

is modifed when the PC increments at address 07FFh linear code execution. This

is contrary to the description found in "The Expanded MCS-48 System" which

states that bit 11 is only altered by JMP and CALL/RET but not by normal

increment.

Fixed in:

pmem_crtl.vhd 1.4

New regression test: white_box/pc_wrap_bit11

Fix will be included in next release.

*******************************************************************************

Wrong clock applied to T0

After executing the 'ENT0 CLK' instruction, the internal clock (XTAL divided

by 3) should be applied to T0.

The t48_core applies clk_i to T0. This is equal to XTAL in the current

implementation of t8048 and others. Therefore, the clock at T0 is three times

faster than specified.

Fixed in:

clock_ctrl.vhd 1.7

t48_core.vhd 1.8

Fix will be included in next release.

Release 0.4 BETA

----------------

*******************************************************************************

MSB of Program Counter changed upon PC increment

See above.

*******************************************************************************

Wrong clock applied to T0

See above.

*******************************************************************************

RD' and WR' not asserted for INS A, BUS and OUTL BUS, A

The control signals RD' and WR' are not asserted when the instructions INS A,

BUS and OUTL BUS, A are executed. The BUS is read or written but the control

signals are missing.

Fixed in:

decoder.vhd 1.16

Fix will be included in next release.

*******************************************************************************

P1 constantly in push-pull mode in t8048

Port P1 is constantly driven by an active push-pull driver instead of an

open-collector driver type. This inhibits using any bit of P1 in input

direction.

Fixed in:

t8048.vhd 1.4

Fix will be included in next release.

Release 0.3 BETA

----------------

*******************************************************************************

MSB of Program Counter changed upon PC increment

See above.

*******************************************************************************

Wrong clock applied to T0

See above.

*******************************************************************************

RD' and WR' not asserted for INS A, BUS and OUTL BUS, A

See above.

*******************************************************************************

P1 constantly in push-pull mode in t8048

See above.

*******************************************************************************

PSENn Timing

PSENn is erroneously activated during read or write from external memory when

the read and write strobe signals RDn and WRn are active. This happens when

code is executed from external Program Memory.

The problem lies in the decoder module where the PSENn signal is generated

based on the current machine cycle.

Fixed in decoder.vhd 1.15

Added waveform check for PSENn in if_timing.vhd 1.3

New regression test: white_box/psen_rd_wr_timing

Fix will be included in next release.

Release 0.2 BETA

----------------

*******************************************************************************

MSB of Program Counter changed upon PC increment

See above.

*******************************************************************************

Wrong clock applied to T0

See above.

*******************************************************************************

RD' and WR' not asserted for INS A, BUS and OUTL BUS, A

See above.

*******************************************************************************

P1 constantly in push-pull mode in t8048

See above.

*******************************************************************************

PSENn Timing

See above.

*******************************************************************************

Program Memory bank can be switched during interrupt

During an interrupt service routine (i.e. after vectoring to location 3 or 7

of the Program Memory and befor executing the RETR instruction) the Program

Memory bank can be switched by executing a JMP or CALL instruction. These

instructions honour the current state of the Program Memory Bank Flag and thus

switch the Program Memory bank upon execution.

Fixed in:

int.vhd 1.2

decoder.vhd 1.14

Updated regression test:

black_box/mb/int

Fix will be included in next release.

Release 0.1 BETA

----------------

*******************************************************************************

MSB of Program Counter changed upon PC increment

See above.

*******************************************************************************

Wrong clock applied to T0

See above.

*******************************************************************************

RD' and WR' not asserted for INS A, BUS and OUTL BUS, A

See above.

*******************************************************************************

PSENn Timing

See above.

*******************************************************************************

Program Memory bank can be switched during interrupt

See above.

******************************************************************************

External Program Memory ignored when EA = 0

The external Program Memory is always ignored when EA = 0 with the t8048 system

toplevel. Desired behaviour is to access external Program Memory when code

has to be fetched from an address location that is outside the internal

Program Memory.

Fixed in t8048.vhd 1.3

Fix will be included in next release.

******************************************************************************

ANL and ORL to P2 read port status instead of port output register

The ANL and ORL instructions for P2 read the port status and apply the logical

operation on this value. Instead, they should read the port output register

and operate on this value.

Fixed in p2.vhd 1.5

Regression test:

white_box/p2_port_reg_conflict

Fix will be included in next release.

******************************************************************************

Counter is not incremented

When in counter mode, the timer/counter module does not increment upon a

falling edge of T1. Reason is a typo in the code for the edge detection signal

t1_inc_s - it will never become true.

Fixed in timer.vhd 1.3

Regression tests:

black_box/cnt/cnt

black_box/cnt/int

Fix will be included in next release.
