I am trying to build a program for PicoBlaze which will translate from Gray code to binary and vice versa. Here is what I've made thus far:
address 0
start: ;Infinite loop...
;Converting from binary to gray...
constant binary_input,0
constant gray_output,0
input s0,binary_input
load s1,s0
sr0 s1
xor s1,s0
output s1,gray_output ;Seems to work.
;Converting from gray to binary...
constant gray_input,1
constant binary_output,1
input s0,gray_input
load s1,s0
sl0 s1
xor s1,s0
output s1,binary_output ;Does not work.
jump start
So, the conversion from binary to Gray seems to work. However, the conversion from Gray to binary doesn't work. For example, for the input:
2
3
I expect the output:
3
2
However, I get the output:
3
5
What is going on here? I am testing my program in PicoBlaze Simulator.
OK, this seems to work:
address 0
start: ;Infinite loop...
;Converting from binary to gray...
constant binary_input,0
constant gray_output,0
input s0,binary_input
load s1,s0
sr0 s1
xor s1,s0
output s1,gray_output
;Converting from gray to binary...
constant gray_input,1
constant binary_output,1
input s0,gray_input
load s1,s0
convert_to_binary_loop:
sr0 s1
xor s0,s1
compare s1,0
jump nz,convert_to_binary_loop
output s0,binary_output
jump start
