CopyBlaze

CopyBlaze is a user friendly version of Ken Chapman''s popular 8 bit PicoBlaze embedded microcontroller. It improves on the first design by adding support for the Wishbone interface, along with both an Assembler and a C Compiler for development.

Benefits
CopyBlaze has many key advantages. It works with PicoBlaze III instructions and includes specific Wishbone instructions. This makes it versatile and easy to use in various systems. It also features a 1k x 18 bit code ROM capability, ensuring plenty of space for complex applications. The design is portable with no vendor specific optimizations, making it adaptable to different environments.

The microcontroller also includes a sleep input signal, which helps with power management by allowing the system to enter a low power state when not in use. The configurable ScratchPad size, Stack size, and Interrupt Vector address add flexibility, allowing developers to adjust the system to their specific needs. The default data width size of 8 bits ensures compatibility with a wide range of applications.

Use Cases
CopyBlaze can be used in various applications where an embedded microcontroller is needed. Its compatibility with PicoBlaze III and support for Wishbone I O make it suitable for both simple and complex embedded systems. The sleep input signal is particularly useful in battery operated devices, helping to extend battery life. The configurable features allow it to be used in a wide range of applications, from simple control systems to more complex data processing tasks.

Vibes
CopyBlaze has been well received for its flexibility and compatibility. The ongoing development and testing of its features, such as the Wishbone instructions and the PBCC Compiler, show a commitment to continuous improvement. The successful testing of all PicoBlaze III instructions and the integration with various Wishbone cores highlight its reliability and potential for future enhancements.
