Simple CPU v1a: Practicals

Home

Thought it would be useful to include a selection of some of the simpleCPU lectures and practicals i use in the modules i teach. Their aim was to quickly highlight the key topics / ideas covered in later practicals and exercise classes. The practicals are based around two software packages Xilinx ISE 14.7 (Link) and CPUSim (Link):
