Dear group:
PacoBlaze 2.2 has been released. This version solves some bugs that were still lurking in the stack and interrupt manipulation. The cores have also received more testing, and more debug information has been added to simulations enabled with the HAS_DEBUG macro. Instructions also have now a one-hot encoding format that is used when USE_ONEHOT_ENCODING is defined. Unfortunately, the compatibility with Icarus Verilog is broken but I am still working on it.
The KCAsm assembler has been tweaked a bit to accept constructs in the form of the original KCPSM assembler, so that most PSM files should be accepted with little or no modification.

I can't end this post without referring to the tragic and unexpected loss of Rodney Smith. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. He was one of the pioneers and pillars of this industry that has vamped digital design in a new era. He will be really missed.
Warmest regards.
