CPU and Memory work, Computer does not

Sebastian
Hello,

Unfortunately I have run into a problem, which I just can't solve. When tested seperately, both the CPU chip as well as the Memory chip pass their respective tests. When put together however, they do not pass all of the Computer tests. I have already searched these forums but have not found a solution yet, hence why I am making a new thread for this.

So, how come my Computer chip doesn't pass the tests while all of its parts when seperated, do?

Regards,
Martin

It's not that uncommon for complex systems to have bugs even though all their parts have passed unit testing.  That's when the debugging gets fun!

If you want to send me your CPU, Memory and Computer HDLs via private message, I'll take a look at them for you.  (Reply to Author under More button -- you might need to be a registered forum member to do this.)
