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.

88 Eliminated some warnings. The div fixes were to simplify the logic, even though
the result is less readable ...
dgisselq 3006d 11h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl
84 Minor updates. dgisselq 3008d 10h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl
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 3008d 10h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl
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 3008d 10h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl
81 Trying to clean up ISE generated warnings. dgisselq 3008d 10h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl
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 3008d 10h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl
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 3013d 13h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl
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 3019d 18h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl
66 Adjusted the support for the DEBUG_SCOPE within these so that it can be
compiled in, or not, based upon an external build configuration file: cpudefs.v.
That allows me to make that file project specific, while the rest of the CPU
is shared among all projects.
dgisselq 3080d 18h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl
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 3080d 18h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl
64 Shuffled some comments into here from elsewhere. dgisselq 3080d 18h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl
63 Simplified bus interactions, and added support for detecting illegal
instructions (i.e. bus errors) in the pipefetch routine.
dgisselq 3080d 18h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl
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 3080d 18h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl
61 Simplified the bus delay logic. Depends upon the stall line being irrelevant
outside of a bus cycle.

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.

49 Final set of changes finishing the Dhrystone package. Dhrystone, as
implemented by hand in assembly, now works.
dgisselq 3100d 12h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl
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 3100d 12h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl
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.
dgisselq 3103d 17h /zipcpu/trunk/rtl
36 *Lots* of changes to increase processing speed and remove pipeline stalls.

Removed the useless flash cache, replacing it with a proper DMA controller.

"make test" in the main directory now runs a test program in Verilator and
reports on the results.
