# NED - Numeric Evaluation Device #

## Description ##

NED is an experimental CPU architecture.

The folders `nedsim/`, `nedasm/` and `neddis/` form a simulator, assembler and
disassembler for the NED architecture. More details can be found in the
`README.md` located in the top level directory of each sub-project.

A passive front panel, found in the `nedfp/` folder, works in conjunction with
`nedsim`.

Among other things, the `docs/` folder contains an architecture manual,
instruction reference, and compatibility matrix for the various parts of NED.

The `software/` folder contains assembly programs written for the NED
architecture.

## Status ##

Everything from the Architecture Manual is implemented except the CMPSWP instruction.

The calculator located under `software/` provides a tested, working example.

## Installation ##

A convenience makefile is included in this top level directory with targets
`make all` and `make clean` which will compile/remove nedsim/nedasm/neddis.
Binaries can be used in place or manually copied where desired.
