YSYX_NPC_IDE

Overview

The ultimate goal of this IDE is to provide a visualization platform for CPU design, code debugging, and validation of peripheral circuits. Firstly, design the CPU using the visualization CPU design tool provided by the IDE (architecture visualization, underlying code needs to be implemented through Verilog). After completing the CPU design, debugging tools in the IDE can be used for debugging. The main method is to compile and load code written in C language onto the designed CPU for testing, verifying whether the basic functions of the CPU are normal. After verification, the IDE can also generate a module from the designed CPU, which facilitates the subsequent construction of peripheral circuits for testing. However, due to limited time and capability, only CPU design code written in Verilog has been debugged so far.
