CPU-external test

[ninelegs]

Hi,
I've built the memory chip and the CPU. The CPU.tst completes successfully but not the CPU-external test. I'm not clear at what point in the build process the external tests are supposed to be run. Should this test complete before building the computer?
Thanks

The CPU-external test is an alternative that only needs to be used if your CPU does not use the built-in ARegister and DRegister chips.

It is interesting that your CPU passes CPU.tst but fails CPU-external.tst.

Could you please send me your CPU.hdl and these files test files:
    CPU.tst
    CPU.cmp
    CPU-external.tst
    CPU-external.cmp
and I'll figure out what's wrong with the test files, or if it's a problem with your CPU.hdl.

(It's easier to directly email the files as attachments to  rather than use forum email that doesn't allow attachments.)

There was an old version of the CPU-external test on the web site. It was corrected in late October, but I was too asleep last night to remember that.
