// Project:     Zip CPU -- a small, lightweight, RISC CPU soft core

//

// Purpose:     This is the top level module holding the core of the Zip CPU

//              together.  The Zip CPU is designed to be as simple as possible.

//              The instruction set is about as RISC as you can get, there are

//              only 16 instruction types supported (of which one isn't yet

//              supported ...)  Please see the accompanying iset.html file

//              for a description of these instructions.

//

//              All instructions are 32-bits wide.  All bus accesses, both

//              address and data, are 32-bits over a wishbone bus.

//

//      The Zip CPU is fully pipelined with the following pipeline stages:

//

//              1. Prefetch, returns the instruction from memory.  On the

//              Basys board that I'm working on, one instruction may be

//              issued every 20 clocks or so, unless and until I implement a

//              cache or local memory.

//

//              2. Instruction Decode

//

//              3. Read Operands

//

//              4. Apply Instruction

//

//              4. Write-back Results

//

//      A lot of difficult work has been placed into the pipeline stall

//      handling.  My original proposal was not to allow pipeline stalls at all.

//      The idea would be that the CPU would just run every clock and whatever

//      stalled answer took place would just get fixed a clock or two later,

//      meaning that the compiler could just schedule everything out.

//      This idea died at the memory interface, which can take a variable

//      amount of time to read or write any value, thus the whole CPU needed

//      to stall on a stalled memory access.

//

//      My next idea was to just let things complete.  I.e., once an instrution

//      starts, it continues to completion no matter what and we go on.  This

//      failed at writing the PC.  If the PC gets written in something such as

//      a MOV PC,PC+5 instruction, 3 (or however long the pipeline is) clocks

//      later, if whether or not something happens in those clocks depends

//      upon the instruction fetch filling the pipeline, then the CPU has a

//      non-deterministic behavior.

//

//      This leads to two possibilities: either *everything* stalls upon a 

//      stall condition, or partial results need to be destroyed before

//      they are written.  This is made more difficult by the fact that

//      once a command is written to the memory unit, whether it be a

//      read or a write, there is no undoing it--since peripherals on the

//      bus may act upon the answer with whatever side effects they might

//      have.  (For example, writing a '1' to the interrupt register will

//      clear certain interrupts ...)  Further, since the memory ops depend

//      upon conditions, the we'll need to wait for the condition codes to

//      be available before executing a memory op.  Thus, memory ops can 

//      proceed without stalling whenever either the previous instruction

//      doesn't write the flags register, or when the memory instruction doesn't

//      depend upon the flags register.

//

//      The other possibility is that we leave independent instruction

//      execution behind, so that the pipeline is always full and stalls,

//      or moves forward, together on every clock.

//

//      For now, we pick the first approach: independent instruction execution.

//      Thus, if stage 2 stalls, stages 3-5 may still complete the instructions

//      in their pipeline.  This leaves another problem: what happens on a

//      MOV -1+PC,PC instruction?  There will be four instructions behind this

//      one (or is it five?) that will need to be 'cancelled'.  So here's

//      the plan: Anything can be cancelled before the ALU/MEM stage,

//      since memory ops cannot be canceled after being issued.  Thus, the

//      ALU/MEM stage must stall if any prior instruction is going to write

//      the PC register (i.e. JMP).

//

//      Further, let's define a "STALL" as a reason to not execute a stage

//      due to some condition at or beyond the stage, and let's define

//      a VALID flag to mean that this stage has completed.  Thus, the clock

//      enable for a stage is (STG[n-1]VALID)&&((~STG[n]VALID)||(~STG[n]STALL)).

//      The ALU/MEM stages will also depend upon a master clock enable

//      (~SLEEP) condition as well.

// We can either pipeline our fetches, or issue one fetch at a time.  Pipelined

// fetches are more complicated and therefore use more FPGA resources, while

// single fetches will cause the CPU to stall for about 5 stalls each 

// instruction cycle, effectively reducing the instruction count per clock to

// about 0.2.  However, the area cost may be worth it.  Consider:
