Added a pulse interval measurement entity,
Fixed comments. |

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).
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. |

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. |

Added write protect logic to the RAM cores and system timer as part of scheme to keep tasks from messing up the scheduler or other task's memory. The RAM is now divided into regions with a separate write mask register. The write mask register itself is only writeable with the I bit is set (during an interrupt or by setting it using STP PSR_I). The 1K memory is divided into 16, 64 byte regions while the 4K memory is divided into 32, 128 byte regions. The system timer simply checks for the I bit being set when the write protect generic is set.
Note that setting the write_protect generic false, or leaving it unset, will keep the previous behavior. |

Finished new Open8 bus record, which now includes the clock, reset and a microsecond tick. The CPU now accepts a clock and pll_locked signal, which it uses to generate the system reset in the bus record. It also contains a simple microsecond counter to feed the usec_tick in the record. This logic was removed from the real time clock and system timer entities, which now use the global version. Bus connections should be dramatically simplified, as only the read logic and interrupts are still run as separate signals. |

Added an OPEN8_BUS_TYPE record to simplify connection to Open8 modules. The CPU now passes and Open8_Bus out, which supplies the bus address, write enable, write data, and read enable. Read data and interrupts are still handled as separate signals, since they are muxed/connected at the next level up. |

Broke out the vdsm8 as a separate entity, since it is used in several places,
Even MORE code cleanup. |

Cleaned up comments, added back the OPEN8_NULLBUS constant, and added some new modules for ADCs and LCD displays.
Also made the button input module more configurable by moving the debounce code to a separate entity and using generics to instantiate it. |
