Pipeline Structure

I am only allowed to use assembler to perform the following tasks:

Pipelining is a heavily used concept to accelerate today’s controllers and processors. Within this project the main controller of a Raspberry Pi B device (ARM1176JZFS) should be investigated in detail. Several assembly programs should be written and executed to check the behavior of the processor on pipeline hazards.

The following subtasks shall be solved:

• Literature survey on the published pipeline structure of the given core.
• Setting up an environment to get access to the processor core on assembly level
• Write assembly programs to provoke pipeline problems
• Check the behavior of the core to those programs. Try to find out the specialities of the processor pipeline
