RE: [zxgate] Z80 Instruction Test

I was just wondering if your core had a timing compatibility mode, or if it only runs flat out?  Assuming it only runs at the high speed, do you think it would be hard to adapt?

Subject: [zxgate] Z80 Instruction Test

All:

I am building a Z80 Core on OpenCores.  This core differs from the
t80 core that some of you are familiar with in a couple of ways..

1) Written in verilog
2) designed for SoC applications (not as a standalone FPGA)
3) Designed to optomize use of internal ASIC SRAM  - its fast.


The processor is more complicated than I had origionally anticipated -
so project is proceeding slower than I had expected.   However, I
should be into verification in a matter of weeks.  

I have seen reference to an instruction "exercizer" on these pages. 
Can anyone out there point me to a good test (hopefully written in
assembly language) that verifies proper instruction execution ?

bj

(btw  - if anyone wishes to help with the verification process - let
me know - need all the help I can get)

Clock rate is not dictated by the design. However, It was not designed to replace a z80 processor in one of those old Z80 based toys where programmers still...
