The intent of this paper is to design and implement 8 bit RISC processor using FPGA Spartan 3E tool. This processor design depends upon design specification, analysis and simulation.

Atmel's FPSLIC includes an 8-bit AVR processor, 40k gates of FPGA, 36 kbytes of dual-port SRAM and a variety of on-board peripherals. We probably wouldn't have considered an 8-bit processor if not for ...

Imagine a simple 8-bit CPU with simple addressing modes (say implied, immediate, and absolute). There is, of course, a tremendous variety of FPGA fabrics with very different characteristics.

It’s an open source 32 bit CPU core that you can synthesize for use on an FPGA. Not only can you browse through all the Verilog code in the Github repo, but there’s also a bunch of tools for ...

In the beginning was the MOS6502, an 8-bit microprocessor that found its way into many famous machines. Some of you will know ...

Soft-core processors from FPGA vendors include Xilinx’s microBlaze and Altera’s NIOS II. These processors have 32-bit architectures, but there are also 8- and 16-bit processor cores like the ...

In a nutshell: Atari's 8-bit computers first launched in 1979, selling for between $549 and $999 and taking up the space of a full desktop machine. Now, more than four decades later, a Polish ...

Chip giant Intel has been talking about CPU-FPGA compute complexes for so long that it is hard to remember sometimes that its hybrid Xeon-Arria compute unit, which puts a Xeon server chip and a ...
