This project is part of a monography focused on transforming the RISC I architecture into a didactic tool.
This project focus on recriating the RISC I architecture to later improve it for didatic porpuses. Both the original RISC I recriation and DRISC archtectures will be contained in this repository for comparison.
The recriation was based on the works of James B. Peek and Manolis G. H. Katevenis. Although it's not a perfect replica, for reasons like simulation limitations and missing documentation, it can still reproduce the whole RISC I Instruction set, while keeping the same overall structucture.
An assembler, written in C#, has been developed to translate assembly language into machine code that can be directly read by the simulation model.
-
Complete RISC I Simulation: A recreation of the RISC I architecture in Logisim Evolution.
-
Custom Assembler: A assembler written in C# for converting assembly language into executable code for the simulator.
-
Educational Focus: Designed to be a comprehensive teaching tool for learning about computer architecture.
To get started with the simulation and assembler, follow these steps:
-
Clone this repository to your local machine.
-
Open the Logisim Evolution project file to explore the RISC I architecture.
-
Use the provided C# assembler to compile assembly code into machine code for the simulator.
