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.
