Jacaranda-8 programming guide

You can program your Jacaranda-8 machine code from the management SoC by Wishbone bus.

addressfunction
0x3000_0000IMEM_WRITE
0x3000_0004UART_CLK_FREQ

IMEM_WRITE

  • bits[7:0] for data that will be contained in the instruction memory.
  • bits[15:8] for address that indicates address in the instruction memory.

UART_CLK_FREQ
