ArduZ80

The first Z80 Emulation library for Arduino

Summary

The Z80 microprocessor is an 8 bit CPU with a 16 bit address bus. It has a language of 252 root instructions and an additional 308 instructions. The Z80 was modeled after the 8080 and contains the 78 opcodes of 8080 opcodes as a subset to it's language.

I searched the internet and no working project or library where found for Z80 to emulate it on arduino, so I decided to write my own library and emulator system and revive the Z80 through Arduino, it was a great processor for hobbyists and students and very good to study computer architeture on it.

Features

• Interpretation-Based.
• Written and optimized for Arduino.
• Tested on Arduino Nano, Uno, Mega.
• ALU, Buses, Registers, Control Unit emulated.
• Emulates 260 Instructions (177 Basic Instructions, 83 Extended Instructions).
• Implementation of IN and OUT instruction left for developer to customize his system.
• built with customization and extensibility in mind, adding new instructions easily.
