About

LPRSemu is an interactive emulator and debugger for LPRS1 ISA & CPU.
LPRSasm is an assembler for the reference VHDL imlpementation of the CPU.

Usage

1. Download latest stabe binaries for your platform

2. Run the emulator with your assembly code file as the first argument

   ./lprsemu example.asm

3. Type h into the prompt to list all commands
   Note: Empty command defaults to step.

4. Test and debug your program

5. Optional: Assemble it into VHDL using LPRSasm

   ./lprsasm example.asm
