2	A machine-independent microprogram development system Ward, Michael John 11 March 2013 (has links) The aims of this project are twofold. They are firstly, to implement a microprogram development system that allows the programmer to write microcode for any microprogrammable machine, and secondly, to build a microprogrammable machine, incorporating the user friendliness of a simulator, while still providing the 'hands on' experience obtained actual hardware. Microprogram development involves a two stage process. The first step is to describe the target machine, using format descriptions and mnemonic-based template definitions. The second stage involves using the defined mnemonics to write the microcodes for the target machine. This includes an assembly phase to translate the mnemonics into the binary microinstructions. Three main components constitute the microprogrammable machine. The Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) is built using chips from Advanced Micro Devices' Am29ØØ bit-slice family, the action of the Microprogram Control Unit (MCU) is simulated by software running on an IBM Personal Computer, and a section of the IBM PC's main memory acts as the Control Store (CS) for the system. The ALU is built on a prototyping card that plugs into one of the slots on the IBM PC's mother board. A hardware simulator program, that produces the effect of the ALU, has also been developed. A small assembly language has been developed using the system, to test the various functions of the system. A mini-assembler has also been written to facilitate assembly of the above language. A group of honours students at Rhodes University tested the microprogram development system. Their ideas and suggestions have been tabulated in this report and some of them have been used to enhance the system's performance. The concept of allowing 'inline' microinstructions in the macroprogram is also investigated in this report and a method of implementing this is shown. Microprogramming
