Would it be worth faking parts you haven't gotten to yet? Have boards with the correct connectors for higher level components and simulate using off the shelf microcontrollers.
This would allow system level testing, and get to a working device sooner. Over time migrate everything to TTL
- OJFord 10y agoTiming could be difficult, might not end up actually saving any (calendar) time.
- Gracana 10y agoQuinn Dunki did something like that when building her "Veronica" 68k computer. IIRC the VGA output remains AVR-based. Seems like a good way to go, provided you don't get bogged down in timing constraints. If you just need to test a unit (and don't need full functionality), a nice logic analyzer works well... I have an HP 16700A with pattern generator, which I can use to simulate just about anything (more or less.. sometimes it's a bit cumbersome to use.)
