Description
8052 compatible microcontroller core. Two different top levels: T8052: - Single cycle synchronous RAM/ROM - Wishbone bus interface for memory mapped peripherals T8032: - Wishbone bus interface A utility to create VHDL ROMs is also included. To create a ROM compatible with the 8052 core type: hex2rom [-b] inputfile.hex ROM52 13b8s > ROM52.vhd Leonardo Spectrum can infer the ROMs created with hex2rom to Xilinx block RAM. I have also modified the baud rate recognition of the BASIC-52 ROM to support the faster instruction timing. The modified BASIC-52 might also work with other high speed 8032 compatible cores such as the 80c320. Browse source code here. Download latest tarball here.
