ABSTRACT
Following the software crisis, a firmware crisis has occurred.
Since too much man-power and time is needed to develop microprograms, the ones already produced like software have to be used as long as possible.
This paper describes a general purpose microprogram conversion tool which is one of the methods used to reduce the man-power and time required for microprogram development and examples of the execution results obtained using this tool.

A microprogram simulator
DAC '71: Proceedings of the 8th Design Automation WorkshopMicro-programming has been defined as an orderly approach to the design of a control section of a computer using control signals arranged in fixed-length words. The control section is the part of a computer which controls the activities of the memories, ...
Hierarchical microprogram generating system
MICRO 12: Proceedings of the 12th annual workshop on MicroprogrammingA general purpose microprogram generating system has been developed to compose, together with a hardware/microprogram debugger, a general purpose development support system for LSI Processor Modules such as Am2900, MMI6700, and/or MACROLOGIC.
