Lab 10: Build a Computer

PDF version

A conceptual block diagram of a simple computer is shown in Figure 1. In previous labs you have already designed the Addr_Mux, the ALU, the control unit and the required registers. In this lab you will put all the components together to build a computer. The only missing block is the memory block which you can find here. You will also need the mem_init.v in which you are going to insert your program code. You are going to use graphical design to implement the computer as shown in Figure 1. Instructions on how to do that is provided in the prelab section 1.
