TLDR: This was an idea to create PicoBlaze 8-bit assembly simulator and IDE. It ended up only as a simulator.
See the source code to learn more; some of the README below might also be helpful (e.g. the PicoBlaze user guide).
This project aims to create a simulator and IDE for PicoBlaze (8 bit processor) assembly.
...this might be a longish process so we will see how it goes. It might end up with just PicoBlaze assembly simulator...
The PicoBlaze user guide can be found here.
NOTE: I am not yet sure whether this will use KCPSM3 or pBlazIDE mnemonics (if you want to read more about this, see page 71 of the PicoBlaze user guide linked above).

For "already implemented stuff" check src/test_* files.
I would also aim to test more or less most of the stuff here. The testcases are created with pytest.
The requirements to launch the project are in requirements.txt file and can be installed through pip - Python package manager - just fire:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Currently the only thing that can be launched are tests. To launch them get into src directory and fire:
py.test . -v
