Code to convert a xilinx xc9572 into an 8051

i have heard that the xilinx chip xc9572 can be emulated into a "generic" 8051 ,
by implementing a code . I don't know much about the development board used (its some mega moon brand with JTAG interface) , if anyone has come across such a vhdl/ verilog/ c code , please provide me the link to it , thanks

 

That was very kind of you steve , to google it up , which i already had done and saw the same article from the xilinx archives
in any case google is my first look out , before posting on any forums , but anyways my teacher told me that , he saw such a code on some text book ,but now he is retired and i have lost his contact , so i could not ask him about the code in the text book .

I have the board , i have the chip, i have my computer , i WAS JUST LOOKING FOR THE CODE IN THE TEXT BOOK , not any licensing issues !!!!


also how do you think i came up with the word "EMULATE" , obviously after browsing the article !!!!!!

 

All i know is the vhdl code i am looking for was printed in some sort of a PRIMER/TEXTBOOK
which my teacher came across , and mentioned it to me while he was talking about the future of hardware description languages and how powerful they are .

i dont think the text book publishers might have paid that amount just to mass publish it !!

i posted this thread , hoping some other guy would have come across the text-book , and might give me the information of that code

 

no there was no misunderstanding , he was as clear as a bell , when he talked about implementing an 8051 from xilinx , just to make his point that "anything can be implemented with asic technology" , he CLEARLY MENTIONS about a weekend project using the code from the text .

 

my guess about the IP licence is that , it is applicable for industries which mass produce
8051 asic chip's based on the xilinx code , but for standalone or university use , i think it is free .


the same thing happened with xilinx software , the professional one cost a lot , which i couldn't afford , but instead i used their FREE student version , which was enough for me .

 

finally found the codes for doing this , after consulting another senior member of faculty ,
he sent me the link , he too didn't know about the text book , but he said its
available for "FREE"
its in here http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~dalton/i8051/i8051syn/ .

 

the code that i got has some bugs , like not handling the interrups properly , and
slower clock speed , and other things , but it will do for me , anyways no need for apologies steve , thanks for your guidance .
