253 Fixed spelling error in comment jshamlet 1460d 12h /
252 (This time the CPU model was included...)
Added the ability to use unsigned offsets to the LDO/STO instructions. The original behavior of signed offsets is preserved if the Unsigned_Index_Offsets is left unset or set to FALSE. While inserting this code, pipeline registers were also inserted into the address generation logic for indexed instructions. This simplifies the final multiplexor and improves FMax at the slight expense of LDO/SDO now taking one additional clock cycle to execute.		 jshamlet 1460d 12h /
251 Added RAM write fault detection, which can be used to indicate a memory write violation by the CPU. This allows a clean shutdown in the event of a memory problem/program crash.

Fixed a bug in the status_led.vhd entity that kept the flashing light function from working. The new code uses a maximal length 24-bit LFSR to create long delays. This is more efficient than a binary counter, but results in non-exact frequencies as a function of SYSTEM_FREQUENCY / (2^24-1).

250 Removed monitor RAM from SDLC model, as it is now proven to work. jshamlet 1464d 20h /
249 Added a 32-bit wide register and split the status_led core from o8_status_led.vhd, allowing it to be used as a subcomponent elsewhere. jshamlet 1476d 12h /
248 Removed Default_Int_Flag generic from CPU, as it is duplicated by Supervisor_Mode. jshamlet 1476d 20h /
247 Fixed problem where parallel interface was always forcing the data registers due to bad alias. jshamlet 1477d 13h /
246 The system timer module now allows for an optional millisecond resolution (settable through a generic). This prescalar enable permits the timer to operate from 1 to 256 mS, which is useful for a variety of tasks, such as serial timeouts and watchdog timers. The enable is not software settable, as this would complicate the register interface and isn't generally useful in an HDL based SOC design.

The vector interface now has a parallel interface that runs beside the serial interface, and is useful for connecting to DIO cards or other parallel interfaces.		 jshamlet 1477d 18h /
245 Modified the CPU's Supervisor_Mode to also protect SMSK and RSP instructions,
Added an external interrupt manager, o8_int_mgr.vhd.		 jshamlet 1479d 17h /
244 Added two new generics to the CPU model. The first is a supervisory mode that disables the STP PSR_I instruction. This prevents errant code execution from setting the I bit, and disabling any subsequent memory protection logic. The second allows the default state of the I bit to be set at startup. If set true, initialization code will run with the I bit set, allowing it to bypass memory protection.

Also modified the RAM models to include write mask logic, where the mask register is write-protected by the I bit in the CPU. When enabled, the models will prevent code from writing to memory regions which do not have their mask bits set. The upshot is that code can effectively "write protect" the RAM - which is useful for multitasking applications.

Also, most modules have been updated with write qualification inputs, allowing a similar scheme to be used for I/O, though not as elegantly. I use a register module, whose own write qual line is attached to the external copy of the I bit as an I/O write protect register.

Lastly, added a new externally triggered timer, which can generate pulses with programmable delays and widths, and which can interrupt on either the input trigger, the output rising edge, or output falling edge. The time base can be either the internal microsecond tick signal, or an external clock.		 jshamlet 1480d 14h /
