Knowledge of the internal structure and
operating mechanism of microprocessors is a very
important part in for engineers in electronics and
computer science. This knowledge can be deepened with
experiences of processor design, which also meet many
aspects linked to other basic skills. However, due to its
complexity, the design of commercial processors is not
effective from an educational point of view. In this
communication we present a VHDL design experience of a
very simple processor that shows multiple learning posed
