Subject: [oc] Tiny CPUs in programmable logic
I am looking for the smallest CPU that can be implemented in an FPGA for use in various projects that don't have a lot of room to spare. Typically the speed does not need to be high, just not something that requires dozens of cycles to execute a single instruction.
I found the tiny8 CPU here and if I am reading the description correctly, it is about 350 LUT4s which makes it one of the smaller CPUs around. I have also found the gr0040 which is supported by an interesting document that compares several of the smaller CPUs. But this design is not licensed for any commercial use.
Anyone work with the tiny8 CPU design? I would be interested in knowing your results. What did you use to develop your code?
Rick
