ECO-029: CPUERR cleared by cpu reset (2016-12-27)

Scope

  • Was in w11a from the very beginning
  • Affects: all w11a systems

Symptom summary

  • the cpuerr register is not cleared by a $cpu cp -creset command
  • the cpuerr status can affect cpu behaviour, e.g. yellow stack traps are only taken when the corresponding cpuerr flag is not set
  • this makes tbench test execution on FPGA potentially depending on pre-history

Fixes

Changed pdp11_sequencer.vhd to clear cpuerr with both general reset and with cpu reset.

Side effects

None because this affects a very early phase of system startup.
