Anupama Processor Architecture and Applications

About the book: The book gives a detailed account of development of indigenous Anupama processor. The first chapter details evolution of computer from a microprocessor. The second chapter describes the architecture of Anupama processor, its functional block diagrams, state transition diagrams, timing diagrams, instruction set details, opcode generation and interrupts. The third chapter deals with assembly language programming and development tool like assembler, instruction set simulator, programming exercise. The final chapter describes practical approach to coding. It deals with block diagrams of different input/output devices, memory interface to processor and also furnishes the test program and test data of these interface.
