### Description
7
 
8
ZAP is a pipelined ARM processor core that can execute the ARMv4T instruction
9
set. It is equipped with ARMv4 compatible split writeback caches and memory
10
management capabilities. The processor core uses a 10 stage pipeline.
11
 
12
Note that ARM GCC is included in the repository in the *sw* directory. The
13
makefile will extract the GCC compiler into the object folder.

### Current Status
16
 
17
Experimental.
18

### Bugs and Known Issues
20
 
21
 - Issues with the Thumb ISA.
22
 - SWAP does not bypass cache.
23
 
24
### Bus Interface
25
 
26
Wishbone B3 compatible 32-bit bus.

### Features
33
 
34
 - Fully synthesizable Verilog-2001 core.
35
 - Store buffer for improved performance.
36
 - Can execute ARMv4T code. Note that compressed instruction support is EXPERIMENTAL.
37
 - Wishbone B3 compatible interface. Cache unit supports burst access.
38
 - 10-stage pipeline design. Pipeline has bypass network to resolve dependencies.
39
 - 2 write ports for the register file to allow LDR/STR with writeback to execute as a single instruction.
40
 - Branch prediction supported.
41
 - Split I and D writeback cache (Size can be configured using parameters).
42
 - Split I and D MMUs (TLB size can be configured using parameters).
43
 - Base restored abort model to simplify data abort handling.
