Abstract
BBMSS is a part of our software aided for the development of bit-slice based systems and is used as a tool for testing and debugging of microprograms . It contains three parts : a hardware description language , a parser , and a simulation program . The hardware description language which is an extension to CDL is presented here . The simulation program which handles user's commands to simulate the behaviour and function of microprogram is given and the parser is also described briefly in this paper.

Hierarchical microprogram generating system
MICRO 12: Proceedings of the 12th annual workshop on MicroprogrammingA general purpose microprogram generating system has been developed to compose, together with a hardware/microprogram debugger, a general purpose development support system for LSI Processor Modules such as Am2900, MMI6700, and/or MACROLOGIC. The ...
Dynamic coalescing for 16-bit instructions
In the embedded domain, memory usage and energy consumption are critical constraints.Embedded processors such as the ARM and MIPS provide a 16-bit instruction set, (called Thumb in the case of the ARM family of processors), in addition to the 32-bit ...
