+# NibbleBuddy
+This repository contains the design and documentation for a very simple 4-bit processor named NibbleBuddy. It's an educational tool meant to show how one defines an Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), builds it using discrete gates and MSI components (multiplexers, flip-flops etc), examines N-operand machines and develops a rudimentary ecosystem for said processor, that being an HDL-based design and an assembler to transform Assembly code into machine code.

+
+## Instructions
+NibbleBuddy supports immediate and direct addressing modes wherever applicable, and is an accumulator-based architecture. The instructions supported are as follows:
+- HALT
+- STA
+- LDA
+- ADC
+- NOR
+- SETC
+- JNZ
+- JNC
+- JMP
+
+## Memory
+NibbleBuddy is a 4-bit Harvard memory architecture processor with a 5-bit program counter and a 4-bit data memory address bus. Thus, it is limited to 32 instructions at most and 16 4-bit data memory addresses.
