Aaron’s Status Report for 2/7

This week, I worked on setting up the testing infrastructure for the 6502. I created the testbench, as well as set up the assembler for test programs. I also discussed the processor design with Rudy. For the processor itself, we first decided to simplify the design by removing certain components we deemed unnecessary. We also decided to divide up microinstructions based on addressing mode.

Currently, we am on schedule. I am currently working through the 6502 processor with Rudy, which is expected to take 2 more weeks.

We would like to have a complete 6502 processor by next week. This will involve finishing up designing our implementation, then actually coding it up, which we intend to have done by the next week. Additionally, I would like to expand write more test cases next week to expand the amount of tests we can run.
