I started develop the Verilog model of DekatronPC computer in order to analyze low-level schematic of all future blocks.
This model would be very useful for:
- Understand upcoming amount of work;
- Count required number of logic elements with different types
- Implement and do debugging the circuit of logic sequencer.
- Analyze performance issues, and find ways to get maximum performance.
During the first time, while no DekatronPC blocks are exit, I will use FPGA emulator to analyze correctness.
While new computer blocks will be done, I will replace emulated parts with the physical one - So just right after the first computer block become to real life - I'll already can show how it works.
Now, I'm working on instruction fetching, and loop handling code. All the code is available on the github repository
