The DSA libraries form the foundation of the entire project, acting as a bridge between high‑level software and the specialized DSA hardware. Their primary responsibilities are:
|
||
|
||
1. **Instruction Set Core Library**
|
||
- Encapsulates all architectural primitives: opcodes, operand formats, and execution semantics.
|
||
- Supplies utility functions to build, validate, and serialize instruction streams.
|
||
|
||
2. **Assembler Support**
|
||
- Translates DSA assembly language into binary instruction packets that the hardware can execute.
|
||
- Implements directives for sectioning, alignment, and relocation handling.
|
||
|
||
3. **High‑Level Language Compiler (DSC) Runtime**
|
||
- Generates DSA bytecode from DSC source files, leveraging the core library for instruction encoding.
|
||
- Offers debugging hooks, profiling counters, and exception handling mechanisms.
|
||
|
||
4. **Testing & Verification Utilities**
|
||
- Contains unit tests that run against both emulated and real hardware to ensure correctness.
|
||
- Provides logging facilities for low‑level bus transactions and performance metrics.
