This is part of a series of posts detailing the steps and learning undertaken to design and implement a CPU in VHDL. Previous parts are available here, and I'd recommend they are read before continuing! ISE WebPACK Design Software I'm using the Xilinx ISE WebPack suite of tools for this project. It's available here for Windows and Linux, for free. Once installed and set up, you can run the project navigator and create a new project. I'll go through some basic steps here, just for clarity - however this s...

CHIP-8 is one of the most popular target architectures for aspiring emulator writers. I'm planning to implement it in hardware, so I thought that writing a software emulator/interpreter would be enlightening. I was also looking for some practice before implementing CHIP-8 in hardware in Verilog :) CHIP-8 Virtual machine description: 64x32 pixel monochrome display 4K of 8-bit RAM 16 8-bit "variable" registers V0-VF I 16-bit address register Stack of 16-bit addresses for call/return 16-bit PC - program counter 8-bit delay timer (decremented at 60 Hz) until it reaches 0 8-bit sound timer (decremented at 60 Hz), beeps when it reaches 0 16- key keypad that sends scan codes 0x1-0xF Instruction set See https://en.
