(10 points) Describe the effect that a single stuck-at-0 fault (i.e. regardless of what it should be, the signal is always 0) would have for the signals shown below, in the single-cycle datapath in Figure 4.17, on page 265. Note that the ALUOp signal is two bits in size, LSB and MSB refer to the least-significant and most-significant respectively. Which instructions, if any, will not work correctly? Explain why.
-
RegWrite = 0
-
ALUOp (LSB) = 0
-
ALUOp (MSB) = 0
-
Branch = 0
-
MemRead = 0
-
MemWrite = 0
