Executive Summary
The following report discussed the approach undertaken to implement the AM2901A microprocessor slice on a Spartan II FPGA board. It will also highlight the functionality and implementation of the individual modules required for the implementation of the microprocessor. The design includes the implementation details of the required modules and the interconnections between them. The report also discusses an important aspect of the implementation of the microprocessor which is the simulation and testing of the individual modules that have to be adhered to ensure correct operation of the overall microprocessor. Simulation tools available in Xilinx 9.1i will be used to simulate the design that our team has derived. Upon discussion of these sections, this document will provide helpful information that will benefit anyone considering undertaking a similar project.
