Abstract

Following the software crisis, a firmware crisis has occurred.

Since too much man-power and time is needed to develop microprograms, the ones already produced like software have to be used as long as possible.

This paper describes a general purpose microprogram conversion tool which is one of the methods used to reduce the man-power and time required for microprogram development and examples of the execution results obtained using this tool.
