Blackvoxel VCPU Architecture

The Blackvoxel VCPU is a virtual 32 bit CPU designed with it's own instruction set. It's architecture is rather classical and is designed as a learning tool.

• Full 32 Bit CPU.
• Designed for teatching and learning (Synthetic and uncluttered instruction set.)
• RISC typed instruction set (Load/Store paradigm).
• Some features of CISC : Variable lenght encoded instructions, some complex addressing modes.
  
• 8, 16 and 32 bit wide instructions. 
• Little endian processor. 
• Top down stack.
  
• Interrupts (16 levels).
  

The registers of the VCPU :

• 16 general purpose 32 bit registers (r0-r15)
  
• A stack pointer using the general purpose register r15.
  
• A status register providing the classical Z,N,V, C flags among others.
• A Program counter (32 bits.)
