How to Extend MIPS32 Datapath for ble and sgt Instructions?

SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on extending the MIPS32 datapath to support the branch less than or equal (ble) and set less than (slt) instructions. The user successfully implemented the slt instruction using the code snippet "slt $t0, $s2, $s1" followed by a conditional branch "beq $t0, $zero, less_equal". The conversation emphasizes the need for modifications in the datapath to accommodate these instructions effectively. Specific guidance on integrating these instructions into the existing MIPS architecture is sought.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of MIPS32 architecture
  • Familiarity with datapath design concepts
  • Knowledge of assembly language programming
  • Experience with conditional branching in MIPS
NEXT STEPS
  • Research MIPS32 datapath modification techniques
  • Learn about implementing conditional branches in MIPS assembly
  • Explore the design of control signals for new instructions
  • Study examples of extending MIPS instruction sets
USEFUL FOR

Computer architecture students, embedded systems developers, and engineers working on MIPS32 instruction set extensions.

Hello!
I'm having problems figuring out how to extend the datapath and the blocks used for ble and sgt instructions on MIPS32.
After studying a bit I managed to code the instructions for ble and sgt respectively:


Code: 
slt $t0, $s2, $s1
beq $t0, $zero, less_equal
////////////////////////////
slt $t0, $s2, $s1


Any tips on how to extend MIPS datapath to support ble and slt instructions would be very helpful!
