2. 2 Required Reading P. Chu, FPGA Prototyping by VHDL Examples Chapter 16, PicoBlaze I/O Interface Chapter 17, PicoBlaze Interrupt Interface Xilinx PicoBlaze User Guide (UG 129) Chapter 4 & 6

3. Output Instructions OUTPUT sX, KKPORT_ID <= KKdirect OUT_PORT <= sX OUTPUT sX, (sY)PORT_ID <= sYindirect OUTPUT <= sX 3 write_strobe is asserted in the 2 nd cycle of an output instruction.

4. Output Instructions: Timing Diagram 4

5. 5 Output Decoding of Four Output Registers

6. 6 Decoder Logic The decoder logic can be saved by using one-hot codes for port_id if the output ports are smaller than 8.

16. Interrupt Related Instructions RETURNI ENABLE PC <= STACK[TOS] ; TOS <= TOS – 1; I <= 1; C<= PRESERVED C; Z<= PRESERVED Z RETURNI DISABLE PC <= STACK[TOS] ; TOS <= TOS – 1; I <= 0; C<= PRESERVED C; Z<= PRESERVED Z ENABLE INTERRUPT I <=1; DISABLE INTERRUPT I <=0; 16

17. 17 Interrupt Interface with a Single Event interrupt should hold high until interrupt_ack is asserted.

18. 18 Interrupt Interface with Two Requests ISR reads in_port[1:0], decides which request should be served, and generate correct signal to clear the corresponding interrupt request FF.

19. 19 Time-Multiplexed Seven Segment Display

20. 20 Time-Multiplexing Circuit

21. 21 Multiplexing Circuit Based on PicoBlaze mod-500 generates an interrupt every 5us. ISR loads sseg[6:0] from memory and generates corresponding port ID for an[3:0].
