Bugs / improvements

  • Give editor focus on switch to on "Help" in multiple spots, rename.

  • No parity between mode and menus, names conflict

  • Remove coloring from input & output Increase height on CPU pane (too small on Mac OS)

  • After running program, should stop debugging at ISA level

  • Memory dump pane colors are too saturated

  • ISA didn't highlight first line of object code

  • Switching level of abstraction screws up help "Figure Figure" in help label on figure view

  • Move Mac OS menus to the top (see https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qml-qt-labs-platform-menubar.html)

  • Need 4 options in main area

    • "Create ISA3 project in bare metal mode"

    • "Create OS4 project",

    • "Create assembly project in bare metal mode"

    • "Create ASMB5 project with full OS"

  • Need the following for correct abstraction levels

    • MC2 with 1 Byte bus

    • MC2 with 2 Byte Bus

    • ISA3, bare metal

    • assembly language, bare metal

    • OS4

    • ASMB5, with full OS

    • RISCV ISA3, bare metal

  • Use verbs for menu items, and nouns for mode stuff

    • EDIT/DEBUG=>CPU for MC2

    • EDIT=>Object Code for ISA3

    • EDIT=>ASSEMBLER for ASMB5

    • DEBUG=>DEBUGGER

    • HELP=>Reference
