Abstract
The effectiveness of using a microcoded Independent Diagnostic Instruction Set for the development, manufacturing and field support of the 32-bit ECLIPSE® MV/8000 data processing system is demonstrated. A separate Diagnostic Processor with a simple operating system and microcode debugging facility is used to aid in this task.

The micro-architecture of the ECLIPSE® MV/8000: Conception and implementation
The microcode of the ECLIPSE MV/8000 controls the hardware to emulate an instruction set. In the MV/8000 the micro-architecture is defined and limited by the following constraints: 1) the desire to implement microcode in a limited number of locations; ...
The ECLIPSE® MV/8000 Microsequencer
The MV/8000 Microsequencing subsection is presented as a case study of a microprogrammed CPU engine. A brief, but comprehensive, description of the micro-orders are discussed with both hardware and firmware aspects considered. Features that are ...
