Removed/disabled NTSC from design, as the tiny HDMI monitor is practically always used. Also greatly increased L2 cache size, although no performance benefits for the relatively small programs I currently use for benchmarking.

Integrated valid bits into cache block ram. Reset now iteratively clears the entire cache. Allows for much lower FPGA usage and better timings. Should be able to greatly increase cache size as there is an abundance of BRAM.

New arbiter that further improves performance by removing latency for instruction memory access. Created instability again, which I found to be caused by bad interrupt timings. Fixed by changing the interruptValid wire to use branch_MEM for alignment. I do not know why this fixed all problems as it is very hard to simulate this issue. L1 cache should be possible again!

L2 cache at 100MHz now greatly increases performance. Attempted to create l1i and l1d cache, but becomes unstable and the issue is difficult to similate/replicate. Therefore, all l1 cache is now bypassed and the code can be found in l1cacheUnstable.v. As no l1 cache anymore, I removed some ccache statements to increase performance as this instruction currently does nothing.

Added files missing from last commit (L1I cache).

Added L1D cache. Currently only works stable when valid bit is set 0 on WRITE. Valid bit 1 after cache miss read works fine for some reason.

Added L2 cache (no L1 for now) between CPU and SDRAM controller. No noticable performance difference, can likely be optimized further to reduce cache hit latency.

New SDRAM controller that uses both SDRAM chips. Now separate bus from MU for better performance, as controller runs at 100MHz. Also updated some debug code as debugging was needed. Tested working in hardware. 2x performance boost in some cases.

Fixed more MU I/O bugs. Updated everything from BCC except the ASM to work on new CPU. Added back flasher programs. Fixed LOAD/HI bug by using unsigned const16 instead. Updated assembler including hotfix for FPGC jumping to addr3 after UART bootloader is done. FPGC6 now basically fully works again!

Assembler only needs Int: function, fixed position of program lenght. Ported ROM and UART bootloader over from FPGC5. Updated documentation on interrupts. Added resets. Fixed bug in MU. Increased stack size. Tested everything in hardware. Probably some other fixes and things I forgot.

Regbank and stack are now placed in BRAM, fixed combinational loop but further testing needed.

Created full FPGC6 verilog simulation, added Quartus code from FPGC5 with CPU from FPGC6. Works in hardware, but has combination loop somewhere at the arbiter and the registerbank and stack are not using block ram
