Designing the microprocessor with Abel-HDL
In this article we introduce the use of the programmable logic circuit in students work as an example of configuring the CPU (central processing unit). Since the concept of an in-system configurable logic circuit is becoming increasingly popular, we now use it for the purpose of logic design. We suggest to students that they use programmable logic, as in constructing the CPU, with their own designed functions that are directly implemented in logic Such an approach could greatly increase the understanding of the architectural concept of the CPU.
