Project Goal
I have created the Ben Eater's 8 bit computer from scratch in LogicWorks software with python assembler program to assemble the code in hex.
Technical Requirements
A good understanding of Digital Logic Design is needed to understand the the CPU working. C++ is also used to create compiler to translate microinstructions to binary code which is stored in ram to run the program.
Project Scope
When you open the cct file in LogicWorks, the fibbonacci program will already be loaded into RAM ( RAM on second circuit ). Run the Clock the off the CLEAR state to see the fibbonacci numbers on the decimal counter. I have tried to organize the computer in their corrosponding components, so if you want to look deeper into components double click to edit them. I have also provided the PersonalLibrary.clf library, so you can use all the components used in other circuits ( move the clf file into Libs folder inside LogicWorks folder ). There is also a simple python program to translate the asm code into hex which you can copy and paste inside RAM ( select RAM then go to Simulation > RAM Wizard and then edit ). I have also provided a cpp file as there is space to more instructions in computer. So if you want you can add more instructions, and then generate their microcodes using the cpp program.
