Processor Design Part 1

Circuits due Mon Nov 4th by 11:59pm in your Lab05 GitHub Repo

Requirements

For this lab you should implement all the components and the top-level partial processor circuit described in the Processor Guide Part 1 with the following exceptions: the Extender and Data Memory for this lab. In summary you need to implement:

A Program Counter using a 64-bit Register with CLR. You may use your own register, or the Digital Register component
A Register File that has 32 registers. Two registers can be read, and one can be written, in a single clock cycle.
An ALU that supports addi, sub, mul, sll, and srl.
Your top-level processor should have a variation of the dashboard view using splitters, tunnels, and probes as shown in the guide. You do not have the replicate this view identically, but it should show the same information. You are free to come up with new and better ways to display the same information.
Your top-level circuit should be able to increment through a program in instruction memory showing each instruction word for the specified program, although this is not tested by the autograder in this lab.
By manipulating the inputs to the Register File, ALU, CLK, and CLR, your circuit should be able to execute four small programs:
1. addi t0, t0, 1 resulting in T0 = 1
2. li t1, 2 resulting in T1 = 2
3. addi t0, t0, -1 resulting in T0 = -1 (0xFFFFFFFF)
4. this multi-instruction program
  li t0, 1 resulting in T0 = 1
  li t1, 1 resulting in T1 = 1
  sub t0, t0, t1 resulting in T0 = 0
Your ALU should be able to subtract A - B and calculate the correct result
For the autograder to test the four cases above:
1. Your main circuit must be named lab05.dig, have inputs named CLK, CLR, RR0, RR1, WR, WE, ALUSrcB, ALUOp, and Imm, and outputs named T0 and T1
2. Your ALU must be named alu.dig, have inputs named A, B, and ALUOp, and an output named R

Given

You may use any of Digital’s built-in components, or your own if you prefer.
