A couple years ago, I coded a microprocessor model in systemC ( C++ ) The purpose was to have an equivelent model for verification of our market uC. I had to code the model so that it worked exactly like the real processor. Although I only ran simulations on it, I learned a great deal about processors, especially the ALU module. I thought I knew everything about processors until I had to code up some of the functions, and I had to swallow my pride and ask the processor designers.

 

This one will take the cake when completed.

Hack computer (from NAND2Tetris) ALU implemented in Redstone in Minecraft (which runs in Java).

The more things change....

 

I guess building a bare bone kit wouldn't be what you're looking for...

it's computer android ?

 

have a look at cubieboard.org

 

Is anybody here interested in making an AAC CPU/ALU Core in Verilog that could be synthesized?

Icarus Verilog/iVerilog is a free download, which interprets Verilog and does simulations. It is compatible with Xilinx ISE verilog, provided you follow the restrictions for synthesis (remove print/timing/debug statements and "don't care" inputs).

If people are interested, we could decide on a core, and work up from there. Maybe the Jack core from Nand2Tetris, or a MIPS core that there is partial code on the net for already. The rest would be modules people could add, and perhaps eventually added to the e-book (after a year or more and several people's input).

I'm thinking 16 bits so it could be implemented on a low cost FPGA, $25 Spartan 3E w/500CLBs or so.

 

Sounds interesting. I could contribute, if I can find the time.

 

A single-board laptop may be a complete laptop designed on one card, with microprocessors, memory, input/output and alternative options needed of a useful laptop. in contrast to a typical pc, AN SBC might not embrace slots into that accent cards could also be obstructed. AN SBC could also be supported nearly any on the market chip, and should be designed up from separate logic or programmable logic. straightforward styles, like designed by laptop hobbyists, typically use static RAM and inexpensive eight or sixteen bit processors.

 

Yet another meaningless drivel post from tinamishra. I'm completely convinced that these are computer-generated posts.

 

Hi Sparky49,

Check this website https://challenge.toradex.com where you can find multiple projects based on Single Board Computers and System on Modules along with project details such as schematics, boot files and related files which are used to build.

I think Sparky may have moved on, as these posts are more than two years old.

 

at the transistor level, one of those stylish little tiger games probably wont get too big, and youve got something half useful after all!

Mine always seem to get shut down even though they are relevant to the OP.
Max.

 

Probably not exactly what you are looking for, but a Graperain may fit what you are looking for. It is very expandable.
Building your own board would be extremely expensive, it would need to be several layers and high speed digital design domain will be in effect.
When my interest in electronics was renewed a couple of years ago, I had plans on building a 6818 single board computer ubuntu as I have a number of 6818s and supporting chips lying around.
