Simple pyCPU Programcode example

The Following is a simple program for the pyCPU (Python Hardware Processor). Keep in mind that the Databitwitdth is limited to a constant factor given to the Myhdl description.

PREDEFINED_IO_ADDRESSES={'PORTA_IN':0,'PORTB_IN':1,'PORTC_OUT':2,'PORTD_OUT':3 } 

def busywait(time):
  x=0
  while x<100:
    td=0
    x=x+1
    while td<100:
      td=td+1
      ss=0
      while ss<time:
	ss=ss+1

def CPU_main():
  global PORTA_IN,PORTB_IN,PORTC_OUT,PORTD_OUT
  x=0
  while 1:
    PORTD_OUT=PORTD_OUT^16
    busywait(20)
    if (PORTB_IN & 0x01)==1:
      PORTD_OUT=PORTD_OUT|0x20
    else:
      PORTD_OUT=PORTD_OUT&0xdf

To get a little insight you can use the dis python module to show the bytecode instructions. The instructions for the function CPU_main are shown below .

import dis
dis.dis(CPU_main)
