176 Switched from distributed to block RAM, and adjusted the logic to help
timing closure. The resulting core will build in designs up to 200MHz in
speed.
dgisselq 3011d 10h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
175 Fixed the carry bit for logical shifts: it is the last bit shifted out of the
register. 0x80000000>>32 yields a 0 with carry set. Anything logically
shifted by a number greater than thirty two clears carry and register.
dgisselq 3011d 10h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
174 Simplified the divide to improve timing performance. dgisselq 3011d 10h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
160 Logic updates, and bug fix corrections to bring this in line with the current
XuLA2-LX25 SoC version. (i.e., the XuLA version was debugged and improved,
this update pushes those improvements to the mainline.)
dgisselq 3104d 06h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
145 This fixes the pipelined memory problem that was introduced a while back to
fix ... pipelined memory conflicts. This appears to maintain the success
of the fix, while recovering the pipeline memory performance that was had
before.
dgisselq 3137d 04h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
140 Minor changes, but fixes build of zippy_tb.cpp. dgisselq 3140d 18h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
138 This updates the CPU multiply instruction into a set of three instructions.
MPY is a 32x32-bit multiply instruction, returning the low 32-bit result,
MPYUHI returns the upper 32-bits assuming the result was unsigned and MPYSHI
returns the upper 32-bits assuming the result was signed.
dgisselq 3143d 15h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
133 Changes preceding an instruction set update, which will change the multiply
operation from a 16x16 bit multiply to three types of 32x32-bit multiplies.
dgisselq 3158d 06h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
132 Lots of minor bug fixes. dgisselq 3158d 06h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
131 Fixed a variable use before declaration error. dgisselq 3158d 06h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
130 Simplified the lock logic, and removed it when pipelining was not defined. This
also means the file is now dependent upon cpudefs.v. In another change, brev
was modified so as not to update the flags. This makes it useable with GCC
as a potential move or load immediate instruction.
dgisselq 3158d 06h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
129 Bug fix. Fixes some ugly race conditions that would cause code from the wrong
address to be executed.
dgisselq 3158d 06h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
118 Fixes two bugs: 1) in the early branching code within the instruction decoder.
This prevented the early branching from working when built with Xilinx's tools,
while the code worked with Verilator. 2) The CPU was not working with the
traditional cache and early branching disabled. These two bugs masked each
other. The replacement code is simpler.
dgisselq 3177d 07h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
105 Fixed some nasty early branching bugs. Adjusted the Makefile to declare that
cpudefs.h was automatically generated from cpudefs.v, and made sure that
zipbones included the cpudefs.v so it could get the DEBUG_SCOPE define.
In addition, the test.S was updated to test long jumps, the early branching
bug we found, and all three early branching instructions: ADD #x,PC, LOC(PC),PC,
and LDI #x,PC.
dgisselq 3201d 15h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
91 Minor updates. dgisselq 3242d 08h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
90 Removed MOV x(PC),PC from the list of possible early branching instructions.
ADD X,PC and LDI X,PC are now the only recognized early branching instructions.
This was done to spare logic, although I don't think I spared more than a
LUT or two.
dgisselq 3242d 08h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
88 Eliminated some warnings. The div fixes were to simplify the logic, even though
the result is less readable ...
dgisselq 3266d 08h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
83 Added a flag to indicate whether an exception took place on the first
or second half of a VLIW instruction--will be zero in non-VLIW mode,
equivalent to the second half of the instruction having caused the
exception. (Expect these flags to be reordered some time in the future into
a less haphazard ordering ...)

Vastly simplified the pipeline logic, primarily for op_stall, but also touched
opA and opB. (Trying to fit within timing on Spartan 6 ...)

Changed division instruction to include a reset on clear_pipeline, to make
certain [BC $addr; DIV Rx,Ry ] works regardless of whether the condition is
true.
dgisselq 3268d 06h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
82 Found and (I hope) fixed a nasty bug that would send the prefetch into an
endless loop whenever you jumped to an instruction at the last location
in an unloaded cache line.
dgisselq 3268d 06h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
81 Trying to clean up ISE generated warnings. dgisselq 3268d 06h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
80 Bug fix: declared the (combined) multiply to be signed again. Also
changed the name of the generate'd for block, to keep ISE from complaining.
dgisselq 3268d 06h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
71 This contains a bunch of bug fixes. (A lot ...) For example, the pipeline
stall code has also seriously changed, to fixed the pipeline memory load/op
stage conflict, while maintaining no-stall operation for operands that don't
need an offset. This had a cascading effect, however, so that the multiply
could no longer complete in a single cycle. Therefore, the timing on the
multiplies was slowed down to two cycles from a single cycle. (It's the
only two-cycle ALU operation ...) The illegal instruction code has also been
fixed, so that illegal instructions no longer stalls the prefetch bus.
dgisselq 3273d 10h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
69 This implements the "new Instruction Set" architecture for the Zip CPU. It's
a massive change set, that touches just about everything but probably not
enough of everything. Please see the spec.pdf for a description of this
new architecture.
dgisselq 3279d 14h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
65 Lots of logic simplifications to the core, in addition to better support for
illegal instruction detection and bus error detection. The biggest change
had to deal with pushing the debug write interface into the ALU write
processing path. This simplifies the logic of adjusting the PC and CC
registers primarily, but also any writes to other registers. It also delays
these register writes by a clock, but since the debug interface is already
ridiculously slow I doubt that matters any.
dgisselq 3340d 14h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
63 Simplified bus interactions, and added support for detecting illegal
instructions (i.e. bus errors) in the pipefetch routine.
dgisselq 3340d 14h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
62 Simplified the subtraction logic, so the carry bit no longer depends on
a separate 32-bit operation but becomes part of the subtract operation.
dgisselq 3340d 14h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
56 Here's a bit of work in progress for getting the Zip CPU working on a XuLA2
board. Many changes include: the existence of a cpudefs.v file to control
what "options" are included in the ZipCPU build. This allows build control
to be separated from the project directory (one build for a XuLA2 board,
another for a Basys-3 development board). Other changes have made things
perhaps harder to read, but they get rid of warnings from XST.

A big change was the addition of the (* ram_style="distributed" *) comment
for the register set. This was necessary to keep XST from inferring a block
RAM and breaking the logic that was supposed to take place between a register
read and when it was used.
dgisselq 3350d 17h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
49 Final set of changes finishing the Dhrystone package. Dhrystone, as
implemented by hand in assembly, now works.
dgisselq 3360d 08h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
48 Files added/updated to get Dhrystone benchmark to work. Several fixes
to the CPU in the process, 'cause it wasn't working. Stall-less ALU
ops now work better, to include grabbing the memory result as it comes out
of the memory unit and placing it straight into either ALU or memory unit
for the next instruction.
dgisselq 3360d 08h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl/core/
38 A couple of quick updates:

- The Zip CPU now supports pipelined memory access at one clock per
instruction (assuming all the instructions are in the cache)
- There is now a 'zipbones' module to build a Zip System without peripherals.
Any peripherals would then need to be external to the CPU.
- Some bug fixes.

Documentation changes coming shortly.
