As I am a big fun of commodore c64 I am trying to build one from scratch. Do you know if there is any simulator capable of running the PIC MOS 6510 ? I want to play with it without still buying one. Thanks.

 

PIC MCUs are made by Microchip Technology Inc.

MOS 6510 was made by MOS Technology and second sourced by Rockwell, Synertek.
You can also search for MOS 8500 and CSG 8500 CPUs, and 7501/8501.

Your other pathway is to learn VHDL or Verilog and do your own. It will indubiously[sic] run faster than the original.

 

If you look around the internet you might find several projects like this one: https://people.ece.cornell.edu/land/courses/ece4760/FinalProjects/s2003/jpp13/website/index.html

The MOC6510 looks like just another packaging option for the MOS6502, which has been emulated a lot.

 

You can still get 6502s

Not sure if they are different from the 6510, though.

interested in 6510 thanks fot thr info

 

I'll bet you dollars to donuts that a 6502 can do anything a 6510 can do. The main difference is that the 6502 has a wider address bus.

I just built one with a Raspberry pi.. I used a Pi 1 as it can sim the whole thing, but you can do it with a pi zero...

As for simulator C64 forever... only about £10 but well worth it.

The 6510 loses the Non-maskable interrupt, Clock out, sync, and ready pins and gains a 8-bit GPIO port.
Otherwise it's a 6502. Sort of a microcontroller with no memory.

So, the good people at Acorn Computers designed the ARM after years working on the 6502 - I get the "retro design" philosophy about designing around a 6502, and even using one of the high-speed modern ones, but the concept of using a high-spec ARM processor to pretend to be a good-old 6502 baffles me.

Nice but the goal is to use original component or at least the same architeture

 

The 6510 almost certainly uses the same die as the 6502 but with a different bonding configuration. It is up to you.

Do you really think so? It's got the zero page ram built in and the normal 6502 hasn't.
I'm with you on the 6502 being the best way to proceed, you can soon "make" a 6510 by adding the RAM and a VIA, or PIO

Okay... I don't see 6502's anymore... let alone 6510's... and the support chips... 6581!!!
This is why the C64 maxi / mini are FPGA's...

 

Still in Mouser, just where they were in Post #5
And this one
https://www.westerndesigncenter.com/wdc/w65c134s-chip.php
has 56 GPIO and 192 bytes of RAM - that's even more like a 6510

 

The only real difference between the 6502 / 6510 is that I/O port (addresses $0000 / $0001). There is NO on-board RAM on the 6502 OR the 6510; both have a full 16-bit address bus and 8-bit data bus. The 'zero page' mode refers to the first 256 bytes of RAM, most of which is taken up on the 64 by various system variables (ex-breadbox owner here).

The 6502 is still in production... in fact, you may have heard of two of the consoles that have a 6502 in it - the NES and the Super NES.

The infamous PLA is available in a fair number of replacement versions. The SID (6581) was recently replicated using an ARM chip, and apparently even the VIC-II (6567) is now available as a FPGA daughterboard replacement.

The only chips in the C64 that have yet to be replicated in hardware are the 6510 and the 6522 CIA (PIA). It does seem both would need to be replicated with FPGA.

Since I am learning Cortex M3 it will be nice to learn also how to interface the ARM micro to an FPGA. ( interested mostly in I/O). Which is a good entry level FPGA dev board you recommend I can also use for C64 ?
I am thinking about these after a research :

- artix-7 to learn FPGA and maybe c64?
tinyfpga (for trying to emulate a C64 basic) - I found this nice resource : http://c64onfpga.blogspot.com/2017/11/introduction.html
- ICE40 to learn FPGA and maybe c64?

Which one you recommend for c64 video signal ?
Will you please recommend a good book/online course about FPGA?

Thanks a lot for your help.

You can see an example of how it is done by checking out the Cypress PSoC. It is an ARM core with a graphical interface for adding peripherals and logic diagrams to do useful things without writing any code. I would start by learning how it's embedded FPGA can be used.
