How to demonstrate a 32-bit MIPS with FPUs in a FPGA?

Question

I am a master student currently doing my final project, I am planning to design a 32-bit MIPS with a FPUs and implement in Altera DE2-115 FPGA board.

I almost finish the main MIPS core design, and I just have no ideal how am I going to demonstrate my design. Running a program and let my MIPS calculate a very precise pi and display in the LEDs?

Do you have any good ideas about how to demonstrate that design in FPGA? I want to demo my FPUs as well, a cool idea will be very very appreciated.

Answer 1

create a Test_module which gets input from switches. Based on the input value, pass the pre-defined command & data for your FPU to process & display_module gets processed data and puts to LED/LCD.

eg: input command 00 idle 01 22/7 10 7/22
