I wonder if this would be possible to run on the Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA employed in the currently-in-dev SoM board for MNT Reform laptop[0]? I know very little about FPGAs so I don't know if it's easily applicable to other boards or what. I mean, I'm not saying it would be _practical_, but it would be pretty cool! haha :)

- Teknoman117 5y agoIt should be. Looks like bog-standard verilog to me. It just implements the standard 6502 bus rather than something like AXI or wishbone.

- vidarh 5y agoThe Kintex-7's are much bigger than the Spartan 6's. Getting a 6502 core into them wouldn't be the issue. The special thing about this board, though is that it's designed to be pin compatible with a real 6502 CPU, so you can plug it straight into a real 1970's/1980's home computer that used a 6502. If that's not what you want to do you'd need other glue logic to interface the CPU core with whatever you want to interface it with.
