This is an implementation of a CISC register ISA from here, initiated from this template.

First you must have a DE10-Nano devboard, along with a linux image from here. You could also just ask the authors for a linux image, though they will probably ingnore you.

Just boot the installed linux image and do

mkdir -p /config
mount -t configfs configfs /config
cd /config/device-tree/overlays
mkdir -p cisc
echo -n "cisc.dtbo" > cisc/path

To use this program, you have to first install quartus. Then, compile the project as described in here. Now, move the .rbf file to /boot/sdr.rbf, and enjoy!

Get the program from here, and compile it on the SD card.

gcc -std=c++14 upload.cpp -o upload

Then, just run the program you compiled with this

./upload program.bin

• SW3 enables and disables step-by-step execution
• If SW1 is on and you press KEY0, the program counter goees to 0
• KEY1 steps the instruciton
• KEY0 unhalts
• GPIO0[0] is the RX for UART
• GPIO0[1] is the TX for UART
• All the other pins on GPIO0 do parallel output, but don't use it, it's weird and bad design

Good luck, you'll need it!

Check out the DE10-Nano for absolute beginners, it's a very useful repo. https://github.com/zangman/de10-nano/tree/master Also, the getting started guide is OK https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/guide/terasic-de10-nano-get-started-guide.html Lastly, just read the docs)
