This paper targets the computer architecture courses and presents an Field Programmable Gate Array implementation of a RISC Processor via Verilog HDL design. It has 8-bit instruction words and 4 general purpose registers. It have two instruction formats. And it has been designed with Verilog HDL, synthesized using Quatus II 12.0, simulated using ModelSim simulator, and then implemented on Altera Cyclone IV FPGA that has 484 available Input/Output pins and 50MHz clock oscillator. The final overall simulation's experimental data verify the correctness of the processor.
