- add fifo_simple_dram: simple fifo with CE/WE interface, dram based - add test benches for fifo_simple_dram, fifo_2c_dram, and fifo_2c_dram2 - add simclkv: test bench clock generator with variable period
w11: PDP 11/70 CPU and SoC
Overview
The project contains the VHDL code for a complete DEC PDP-11 system: a PDP-11/70 CPU with memory management unit, but without floating point unit, a complete set of mass storage peripherals (RK11/RK05, RL11/RL02, RK70/RP06, TM11/TU10) and a basic set of UNIBUS peripherals (DL11, LP11, PC11), and last but not least a cache and memory controllers for SRAM and PSRAM. The design is FPGA proven, runs currently on Digilent Arty, Basys3, CmodA7, Nexys4, Nexys3, Nexys2 and S3board boards and boots 5th Edition UNIX and 2.11BSD UNIX.
For more information look into:
- w11 project home page and blog
- change log and installation notes
- guides to build bit files and test benches with Xilinx Vivado and Xilinx ISE
- guides to run test benches and to boot operating systems
- known issues general and w11a CPU
- the impatient readers can try their luck with the quick start guide

Note on freecores/w11
The freecores team created in 2014 a copy of almost all OpenCores cores in Github under freecores. This created freecores/w11 which is outdated and not maintained. Only wfjm/w11 is maintained.
