IOP-16 Stack
- Stack is used to keep track of return addresses for subroutines
- Stores to stack on JSR instruction
- Loads from stack with RTS instruction
- Last-In, First-Out (LIFO)
- 12-bit width
Configuring Depth
- Configurable stack depth
- 0 = no stack
- No JSRs or RTSs in code
- Can do JMPs
- 1 deep = Single deep calls
- Optionally deeper as build option (uses more registers)
- 0 = no stack
- Set STACK_DEPTH_PASS to the max nesting depth of the subroutines in the top file
- The LIFO capacity is equal to 2 ^ STACK_DEPTH_PASS - 1
IOP16: ENTITY work.cpu_001 -- Need to pass down instruction RAM and stack sizes generic map ( INST_ROM_SIZE_PASS => 512, -- Small code size since program is "simple" STACK_DEPTH_PASS => 4 -- Subroutine depth (not nested) )
Resources
- STACK_DEPTH_PASS = 3
- ALMs: 33
- Registers: 86
- STACK_DEPTH_PASS = 4
- ALMs: 54
- Registers: 158
