I have seen PIC compatible IP cores for FPGA's.  I'm not sure if they're in
Verilog or VHDL.
Also, 8051 cores, but again not sure if in Verilog or VHDL.

Subject: [EE] Picoblaze or simpler

Hi all,

I'm looking for a soft CPU that can run on my Spartan 3E FPGA. It should be
as simple as possible and preferably written in Verilog. I looked at
Picoblaze and it's pretty good other than a poorly written/unmaintained
assembler (there are clones, but still kind of a pain in the ass). Also, it
runs from a hard coded Verilog ROM which is okay, but:

Just wondering if there are any simpler or equally as simple soft CPUs out
there? Microblaze is overkill for what I need. But something that can run
from flash instead of hard coded ROM is always good, since I can very easil=
y
program the on board flash.
