Design documents:

• Assembly Language - Documents the registers and assembly instructions available for our microprocessor.
• Machine Language - Documents the mapping between assembly language commands and the machine language for our microprocessor.
• Components - Components that are needed by our Register Transfer Language.
• Register Transfer Language Description - Description of RTL used to implement each assembly instructions.
• Datapath - The datapath for our processor. [Datapath Testing]
• State Machine Diagrams - Diagrams showing defining the state machine for our control unit. [State Testing]
• Control Signals - Documents the control signals outputted by our control unit to manipulate the various components in our processor.
• Component Specifications - Design of our components to be implemented in xilinx
  • ALU - Our Arithmetic Logic Unit
  • Register File - Our register file
  • 16 bitifier - Our 16 bitifier (sign extends or shifts an 8 bit number)
  • The only other components we'll need are registers (PC, IR, A, B, etc.) and the memory file (which will be provided to us).
• Component Testing - Description of the process we went through in testing our components.
