So far the program that my CPU executes has been hardcoded into the VHDL source for the CPU itself. Whilst OK for the initial simulation and debugging, it clearly this isn't very flexible.
The alternative at this stage was to manually modify each memory cell by hand in the simulator before starting the simulation. Painful!
Clearly I need an assembler...
