8-bit microprocessor - ashfaq_bse - Mar 18 0:37:12 2007

hey people hop all of u ppl will b fine. i m a student of B.Sc. Computer
engineering. i m going to make a degree project of "8-bit microprocessor
based on MIPS architecture (RISC) implemented on verilog and
synthesized oin FPGA"

if any one have this project he/she should help me out so that i could
vast ma project scope.

i shall b really grateful to u ppl. thanking u ppl in anticipation.

regards,
ashfaq ahmed

I think it would be easier if you made it a 32-bit microprocessor rather
than an 8-bit. As far as I know, there isn't any defined 8-bit MIPS
architecture. Or do you mean that it will be only loosely based on
the MIPS architecture? Defining your own architecture is a fair bit
of work, and then you have to come up with your own development tools
such as an assembler. But if you're up for that kind of challenge,
it would certainly be educational.

I don't understand what you're asking us for. Do you expect to turn
in someone else's design for your degree project?

Best regards,
Eric

I think the most important question is whether the ISA
(Instruction Set Architecture) is already fixed. If not,
you will have to design an instruction set for your CPU.
I would find it difficult to combine the requirements
'8 bit' and 'RISC', at least if you associate a pipeline
implementation with the RISC buzzword (and not merely
a small set of instructions).

Regards,
Hellwig

Building your own processor can be fun and is not that hard.
I had last semester several groups of students who did it
all from scratch (including assembler) in one semester for
just 3.0 ECTS. And all processors where pipelined and run
in an FPGA.

Very interesting for me was the fact that all groups came
up with a different design. See following Wikiversity page
for a description of the projects:

http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Computer_Architecture_Lab
and
http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Computer_Architecture_Lab/WS2006

I hope the OP will not take one of the projects for his degree
project ;-)

I agree with most comments here, but just FYI there *is* a well defined 8 bit RISC: Atmel AVR. It even has a GCC port (which I've used a lot).

Re: 8-bit microprocessor - mohamed saad - Mar 28 10:23:30 2007

hello
i was helping some students making there graduation
project.
they wanted to make something like you

they were making intel 8086.

for such projects u have to stick to the instruction
set of any type of processor you choose so as to use
its development tools.

some times u will not be able to build some preferals
that require some analog ccts unless u make it out of
chip.

however u should stick to the same implementation of
the preferals (in your digital design) so that when u
use c for this micro controller the generated assembly
will be optimized for the same micro controller
for example clearing interrupt flag register or any
status regiter for any preferal (timer module)or
(input capture module). you must make it the same way
(functionality) like the micro controller.

u can try microchip pic
or atmel avr

if u need any help don't hesitate to contact me
