As a person not fluent in processor design, chip design, FPGAs or Verilog, is there some demonstration of actual software running on this implementation? Or is that one or more steps away after synthesising and loading the bitstream in to the FPGA?
- happycube 6y agoThere are simple demonstrations in the repo, and he's run it on actual FPGA boards. But beyond that, the core has already been ported to MiSTer, which would be much more enjoyable to use: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Altair8800_Mister https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Altair8800_Mister

- sasaf5 6y agoIn the tst directory they have .asm files, which they load in the program memory to test the CPU. The abstract mentions that they run it in FPGA, but it wouldn't be difficult to run those tests in simulation too (albeit exceedingly slow).
