Plasma 32-bit MIPS Microprocessor

Plasma is a 32-bit MIPS compatible microprocessor core for FPGAs. This project includes VHDL code for the core, C code for example designs and a C# BootLoader project.

This design is an extension of work by Steve Rhoades at http://opencores.org/project,plasma

I have modified the design to target the Digilent ATLYS Spartan-6 FPGA Development Board, http://www.digilentinc.com/Products/Detail.cfm?Prod=ATLYS

Development environment is MS Windows 7, Xilinx ISE v13.3, MS Visual C++ Express 2010, MS Visual C# Express 2010.
