  bart 33d828b6b9 All rendering of textured raycaster now done in assembly for significant speed improvement. 11 months ago
  bart d2b53bb5e8 Added dark side of wall in raycaster. Moved data to data folder. Minor code improvements and prep for assembly screen render function. 11 months ago
  bart 4e7cdb1216 Changed pixelplane to 24 bit colors. Updated texture generator and raycaster to 24 bit color. 11 months ago
  bart 55b5818582 Textured raycaster is now fast enough for a demo. 11 months ago
  bart 9ac6dafd0f POC texture rendering in raycaster. No code optimization yet so it is very slow. 11 months ago
  bart f746bbd20d Added movement to raycaster. Speed improvements to raycaster and script to precalculate direction and plane values for rotation, for each degree. 11 months ago
  bart 0eba720aeb Initial working POC of a simple raycaster engine. 11 months ago
  bart 69d109e653 Added hardware signed and unsigned integer division and modulo. Created simple integer calculator to test. Updated several programs and BDOS to use new division hardware while keeping software calculation as legacy functions. 11 months ago
  bart f3f3a43044 Added fixed-point signed divider to MU. Integrated into FPCALC. 11 months ago
  bart ddd3d60235 Added Fixed-Point BCC library, including a FPCALC application to test it. MULTFP instruction is added to assembler, and some library functions were added during development. 1 year ago
  bart 3af9eecaa9 Added signed fixed point multiplication to ALU. 1 year ago
  bart 9294ee0605 Removed unused PLLs from quartus design. Replaced main PLL with Cyclone V PLL. 1 year ago
  bart f78729ea77 Fixed L2 cache state machine issue which was only present in the previous commit. 1 year ago
  bart 82a433530c Reverted L2 cache size to 1024 words for easier debugging. 1 year ago
  bart da2bff2ea2 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. 1 year ago
  bart 2287e54c6b 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. 1 year ago
  bart 2fe0518bb3 Improved interrupt timing/alignment, fixing bug where interrupts are not allowed during the UART bootloader. 1 year ago
  bart 52f2819774 Removed leftover ccache instructions from debugging instability problems. Commented out required ccache instructions for when L1I cache returns in the future. 1 year ago
  bart 9a285550c0 Updated documentation a bit, added newlines to BENCH, removed wrong comments from L2cache.v 1 year ago
  bart 88681ec5d0 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! 1 year ago
  bart add43b75da 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. 1 year ago
  bart 5af536210d Fixed instability by adding clear cache instruction during SPI transfer. No idea why this fixed the issue, as the I/O address range is above the limit for cache to work. 1 year ago
  bart 9a6bf3cd52 Improved reset for cache. Disabled l2 cache as it currently reduces performance. Added more CCache instructions to code, although likely not needed. Still instability issues when L1I cache is enabled. 1 year ago
  bart 7e81e7fa17 Added files missing from last commit (L1I cache). 1 year ago
  bart 3253b1bc2c Added L1I cache. Added clear cache instruction, which is now added in the UART bootloader and BDOS program loaders. Fixed too fast read part in SPI flasher. Snake userbdos program now sometimes crashes, which needs further investigation. 1 year ago
  bart dfb3bbb48e 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. 1 year ago
  bart b6831c4209 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. 1 year ago
  bart 28bcde6466 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. 1 year ago
  bart 240770cb51 Progress on asm for bcc with new architecture. Started on SDRAM testbench for new controller. 1 year ago
  bart 1a2f5e6c55 Added qws Quartus file. 1 year ago
