8-bit console implemented on an FPGA

How to Run

• Install Rust
  • MacOS: brew install rustup-init
  • Install a toolchain: rustup install stable
  • Set a default: rustup default stable
• Install Verilator
  • MacOS: brew install verilator
  • Debian-based distros: apt-get install verilator
  • Arch-based distros: pamac build verilator
• Make and Run:
  • make run : runs in a simulated environment.
  • make upload : sends to FPGA (currently BlackIce MX, which has a Lattice Ice40).

Compatibility:

The simulator uses a framebuffer to display the graphics on a window. The FPGA currently has drivers for ST7735 and ST7789 (which only differ in their resolution and initialisation ROM). Pull requests are welcome :)
