PR#2
|
(1) Problem
(2) On-line VHDL Tutorials Here or Here
(3) Skeleton MIPS VHDL model
(4) ModelSim Tutorial
(5) Installing ModelSim for your PC (Windows based)
(a) Register an Xilinx account
(b) Get ModelSim Installer from Xilinx; login required. (Scroll down to the bottom and find MXE-III Starter)
(c) Install the Starter version (Free).
(d) Get a free license following the installation instructions. (Only takes a few minutes.)
(e) CoC labs installed the full version, however, the free version contains the sufficient functions you need.

PR#3
|
(1) Problem
(2) I highly recommend you use your own PR#2 code for this assignment. In case you really cannot make your PR#2 working properly, you can choose to start off your PR#3 from this version provided by TA Nathan Parrish. But note that it may take much longer by using someone's code as you may need to spend more time to learn his coding style.
