MIPS CPU DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION BASED CYCLONE II FPGA BOARD

The aim of this work is to design and implement a simple MIPS CPU by using Cyclone II FPGA without complex control unit. MIPS- Processor has been studied and realized to design, simulate and implement its components by using VHDL and FPGA Board under Quartus version “8.1 software packages. This design in a modern FPGA environment has done and used to finally realize the hardware components (RF, PC, ALU, RAM, ROM and Multiplexer). Also, the design has used a module principle to implement the components of the Microprocessor which provides high flexibility in expanding the hardware and software units of its components when there is a need to change the structure of the design without a complex central control unit. This method of design provides high flexibility especially for embedded systems which are planted in a variety of applications. The success of the design has been tested through the work of the processor as an integrated in all components under its instructions with simple control unit.
