📝 How to Initialize the Instruction Memory

1. Create a file named instructions.txt in the same directory as the assembler.py script.

2. Write the instructions you want to include in the instruction memory in the file, with each instruction on a separate line.

   • Instructions must be written in RISC-V assembly. Refer to assembler.py for supported formats.

3. Open your terminal and execute the following command:

   python3 assembler.py

4. A file named instruction.mif should be generated in the same directory as the script.

🧪 How to Test Your Program with the Testbench

1. Create a new project in ModelSim.

2. Add all the files from the design folder to the project.

3. Include the testbench file tb_top.sv in the project.

4. In the project directory, ensure that you have the following files:

   • compile_verilog
   • runtb_top
   • instruction.mif
   • data.mif

   Adjust the file paths in the scripts accordingly.

5. In the ModelSim terminal, execute the following command:

   do runtb_top

6. The compilation and simulation process will commence, and the results will be displayed in the terminal.
