The two earliest commercial Intel CPUs as velxio custom chips:
- 4004.c (~150 LOC): 16-pin DIP, 8-phase frame (A1..X3), SYNC at A1
with PC nibble walk on D0..D3 (low-first per MCS-4 Fig. 2), CMROM
strobe during M1. ISA decoded as NOP for now — full 46-instruction
set deferred to ISA phase.
- 4040.c (~250 LOC): 24-pin DIP per MCS-40 pp. 1-5/1-6 (STP/STPA/INT/
INTA/CY/dual CMROM/dual standby Vdd). 4004-compatible bus + STP
latched at M2 → STPA asserts at X3 + INT forced JMS to PC=0x003.
14 new opcodes decoded as NOP for now.
Test refinements (analogous to bootCpu fix from 8080 work):
- bootChip no longer advances time post-RESET so first observed cycle
starts at A1 of cycle 0 with PC=0.
- SYNC sampler latches on first edge (was over-collecting on
subsequent SYNC pulses).
- 4040 test renamed STOP→STP, STOPACK→STPA per MCS-40 datasheet pin
names; added INTA, CY, VDD1, VDD2 pins; SYNC-stops assertion
removed (manual: STOP mode keeps clock and SYNC running).
Brings test_intel suite from 37 to 43 passing tests; 0 failures;
remaining 3 active are 8086 (deferred), 29 todo are intentional
deferred integration tests.
