Would certainly be fun to figure out how to do this.
Are there any
resources or samples out there that would point at how this is done? Do
you start with a schematic of the CPU or the device and convert that to
verilog by hand, or is there some automated way?
I suppose for older CPUs that were implemented in discrete logic or
SSI standard parts, its fairly easy to come up with a schematic.
However, for all-on-one-chip MPUs, generally there isn't a schematic
available and you have to work from a behavioral specification like
the datasheet.
