A complete 8-bit Microcontroller in VHDL

In this VHDL project, VHDL code for a microcontroller is presented. The 8-bit microcontroller is designed, implemented, and operational as a full design which users can program the microcontroller using assembly language. 

The instruction set and architecture of the 8-bit microcontroller are available at Chapter 13 in the book "Introduction to Logic Circuits and Logic Design with VHDL" by prof. Brock J. LaMeres. The microcontroller has an 8-bit processor, a 128-byte program memory, a 96-byte RAM, 16x8-bit output ports, and 16x8-bit input ports. Users can program the microcontroller by inserting opcodes and operands in the program memory.

After completing the design, the microcontroller is implemented on FPGA DE0-nano board as shown in the figure below.

  8. Can you tell me how did you program it with assembly and with any software ? Thanks.

    1. You need to check the instruction set of the microcontroller (Assembly), then convert it into machine code (binary). Next, load the machine code to the ROM (program/instruction memory) during synthesis so that the microcontroller executes the instructions in the ROM.

  9. Hi, it's incredibly interesting.
    Could you help how to program that (and other MIPS microcontrollers from your articles) with C language?

    Replies
    1. You need a custom compiler to convert the C code to assembly and to machine language. And program the instruction memory with the machine language.
