Game Bub Plays ROMs and Cartridges
With today’s technology, emulating video game consoles from the 90s or before is trivial. A Raspberry Pi and a controller of some sort is perhaps the easiest and simplest way …read more Continue reading Game Bub Plays ROMs and Cartridges
T1 is a RISC-V Cray
The crux of most supercomputers is the ability to operate on many pieces of data at once — something video cards are good at, too. Enter T1 (short for Torrent-1), …read more Continue reading T1 is a RISC-V Cray
High Performance RISC-V
From the Institute of Computing Technology division of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Peng Cheng Laboratory comes a high-performance and well-documented RISC-V core called XiangShan. In the Git repository, …read more Continue reading High Performance RISC-V
Cheap FPGA PCIe Development
Typically, if you want to build an FPGA project inside a PC, you’d need a fairly expensive development board that plugs into the bus. However, [CircuitValley] found some IBM RS-485 …read more Continue reading Cheap FPGA PCIe Development
Did You Know YoSys Knows VHDL Too?
We’ve been fans of the Yosys / Nextpnr open-source FPGA toolchain for a long while now, and like [Michael] we had no idea that their oss-cad-suite installer sets up everything …read more Continue reading Did You Know YoSys Knows VHDL Too?
Supercon 2023: Building a Portable Vectrex, The Right Way
The Vectrex was a unique console from the early 1980s. Developed by a company you’ve probably never heard of—Smith Engineering—it was put into production by General Consumer Electronics, and later …read more Continue reading Supercon 2023: Building a Portable Vectrex, The Right Way
Tridora: A Full-Custom CPU Designed For Pascal
[Sebastian Lederer] has created Tridora: an unusual stack-based CPU core intended for FPGA deployment, co-developed with its own Pascal compiler. The 32-bit word machine is unusual in that it has …read more Continue reading Tridora: A Full-Custom CPU Designed For Pascal
Exploring TapTo NFC Inegration On The MiSTer
[Ken] from the YouTube channel What’s Ken Making is back with another MiSTer video detailing the TapTo project and its integration into MiSTer. MiSTer, as some may recall, is a set of FPGA images and a …read more Continue reading Exploring TapTo NFC Inegration On The MiSTer
