During the design of my latest FPGA, I wrote a vhdl cpu emulator. I would like to know if there is interest in the (open source) FPGA community for such a vhdl cpu emulator?
The emulator supports: reading and writing from / to memory on the FPGA waiting for interrupts or set periods of time multiple threads cpu global registers thread local registers setting local registers based on thread arguments when spawning one level while loop one level of if with else statement outputting data read during a read to a file
CPU commands come from a main file, and each thread has its own separate file.
If there is already something like this out there, I would love to hear about it.
Thanx, nachum
