Implementation of Generic Processor in FPGA

This thesis studies processor architectures suitable for embedded processors. This includes Transport Triggered Architectures (TTA). TTA is programmed by specifying data transport; operations are triggered as a side effect of data transports. In traditional Operation Triggered Architectures (OTA) requested operations are determined by program. Data transports are handled internally by hardware so it's impossible to control and optimize data transfer by compiler. This approach brings an advantage of hardware and software aspects. The aim of this thesis is to design and implement a sample TTA processor in VHDL followed by realization in FPGA. This processor is designed in a generic manner, i.e. customized by set of generic parameters such as data width, number of buses, etc
