#106961 - Stress testing a synthetic 8051 core
First of all hello to you all being my first message on the board !!!
Then I have a problem where I could use some help from the people experienced with 8051 cores synthesised in FPGA ( Xilinx), I have to work with such a beast and so far so good, I did load a lot of programs torturing it ;) and it holds, but my boss would like to have some more formal test of the whole instruction set and compliance with the actual 8051 ( the VHDL simulations are not enough, he wants a program that runs on the real hw.).
While I'm by no means a novice, this task is new to me and I don't want to reinvent the wheel if there is such thing already done that you could load and let it run for a while and at the end stops and says "OK, all is well" or "Phase 54: That instruction is bad" of course as an error code in a memory location for example or output on a port.
If you know of such a best I'd very much like to hear about it.


Thank you for your time and kind help,

Mircea
