Mai :v_trans:<p>After getting a basic ALU design done yesterday &amp; starting a **very** rough start at a microcodeish thing, today the first design of the controlunit &amp; overall cpu design comes together, so it can actually calculate an addition from two arbitary registers and store the result back into a register of choice! :3</p><p>Still a lot to go but excited it works already somewhat! <a href="https://soc.saiyajin.space/tags/hardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hardware</span></a> <a href="https://soc.saiyajin.space/tags/fantasyconsole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fantasyconsole</span></a> <a href="https://soc.saiyajin.space/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a> <a href="https://soc.saiyajin.space/tags/verilog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>verilog</span></a> <a href="https://soc.saiyajin.space/tags/systemverilog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>systemverilog</span></a> <a href="https://soc.saiyajin.space/tags/software" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>software</span></a> <a href="https://soc.saiyajin.space/tags/cpudesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cpudesign</span></a> <a href="https://soc.saiyajin.space/tags/hardwaredesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hardwaredesign</span></a> <a href="https://soc.saiyajin.space/tags/fpga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fpga</span></a> <a href="https://soc.saiyajin.space/tags/fpgadev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fpgadev</span></a></p>
Tom Gambill<p>Baby steps in getting my Apple I reproduction PCB up and running. 6502 CPU booting with just RAM and ROM attached. It grabs the reset address from ROM and starts executing code...until it tries to do something with IO, which is not attached yet...</p><p>I'm monitoring the bus with an Arduino MEGA attached to my MacBook Pro.</p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/cpudesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cpudesign</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/retrodev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrodev</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/8bit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>8bit</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/16bit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>16bit</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/100DaysRTL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>100DaysRTL</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/DigitalDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalDesign</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ElectronicsEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ElectronicsEngineering</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/TechInnovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechInnovation</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/hardwaredesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hardwaredesign</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/PCBDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PCBDesign</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/RetroDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroDev</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/KiCad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KiCad</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/DIYProjects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DIYProjects</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/retrocomputer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputer</span></a></p>
