EDUCATIONAL PROCESSOR

This report discusses the overview of the chosen project, which is an
Educational Processor. The objective of this project is to develop a simple processor
with TTL logic for educational purpose. This processor will be used as a learning tool
for Computer System Architecture class. To complete this project, the scope of study
will cover the computer system architecture and Central Processing Unit (CPU). The
CPU datapath design and hardware circuit design is based on the MIPS single-cycle
processor. The methodologies that will be involved in this project are design and
validation phase, constructing the hardware and then interfacing phase through serial
communication between CPU and a graphic user interface using microcontroller. The
prototype would be used as a learning tool in Computer System Architecture class
and to assist student in understanding the computer architecture.
