| Amongst
many other things, The
Official Beboputer Microprocessor Databook describes the Beboputer's (and the
PhizzyB's) assembly language, instruction set, and addressing modes. "So why does the world need a data book for an imaginary microprocessor?" you ask. Well one immediate application is for college and university courses. The Beboputer is an ideal device for students to model in a hardware description language (HDL) such as VHDL or Verilog, because it's interesting and challenging without being over-complex. These HDL descriptions can subsequently be verified using digital simulation and then synthesized down to gate level representations, with the possibility of PLD, FPGA, and ASIC implementations. One very interesting area here would be to evaluate the efficiency of different state machine representations for the Beboputer's instruction decoder and executer block, including "one-big" versus hierarchical implementations (these concepts were introduced in more detail in our book Designus Maximus Unleashed). |
