- Clock: 1000 Hz
How it works
Implements a subset of the PIC mid-range ISA (no SFR, no carry, no call/stack), 6 GPRs, 16 program words.
How to test
Program data is shifted in serially. For each program word, shift in {(1 << address), data} (28 bits total) to prog_data and then assert prog_strobe. Once loaded, deassert (bring high), reset and the program should start running. GPR 6 is GPI and GPR 7 is GPO
External hardware
A means of shifting in the program (e.g. another microcontroller, USB GPIO interface, etc) is required at startup. Once running, it is standalone.
