Switches! Lots of them!

we'll actually split into teams and all, so we'll really need the laptops this time around

Past slides are in github

Computer architecture

• Brainstorming on exactly what we'll implement
• Perhaps port the design to verilog ?
• Look at the assembler and all :)
• We don't have any new material to present this time. I'll answer any questions on the existing stuff and then we'll work on finishing our mini cpu :)

Check the code in https://github.com/pld-lessons/simple_cpu

For study

• Implement an assembler that accepts assembly in a nice, text format and outputs C or binary code for it
• Modify tiny.cpp to read external binary files
• modify the assembler to generate binary files

Example assembly format

   //this is a commend and is ignored
   mov r0,1
   add r0,r1,r2
   add r0,r2 //this is a shorthand for add r0,r0,r2
   print r0
