USE WORK.comp_pkg.ALL;

ENTITY Memory IS

PORT (Addr : IN MAddrT ; -- memory address bus

Length : IN STD_LOGIC; -- byte/word operand

Rd, Wr : IN STD_LOGIC; -- access control signals

Enable : IN STD_LOGIC; -- enable signal

Rdy : OUT STD_LOGIC; -- access completion signal

Data : INOUT WordT ); -- memory data bus

PROCESSOR

• Processor state• 32 general-purpose registers (32-

bits wide), called R0, R1, ..., R31;• a 24-bit Program Counter register

(PC);• a 4-bit Condition Register (CR); and• a 32-bit Instruction Register (IR).
