Everything is open source, so you can read, understand and modify the whole system, hardware and software.
## Overview
- Homebrew CPU
- homebrew CPU
- Verilog FPGA SoC
- 32-bit word-oriented stack machine architecture
- running at 83 MHz on an Arty-A7 board with four clocks per instruction

- minimal operating system
- editor, compiler, assembler run natively
- so you can develop programs directly on the machine
- small: CPU has 760 lines of verilog, compiler ~9000 LoC
- Compiler written in Pascal and can compile itself
- Cross-compiler/-assembler can be compiled with FPC
- Compiler does its own Pascal dialect with some restrictions and some extensions
- Emulator available

- most parts of the operating system are contained in the program image
- file system is very primitive: only contiguous blocks, no subdirectories
- simple shell reminiscent of TP3.0, edit, compile, run programs
## Building the FPGA bitstream
- install Vivado (tested with 2024.1)
- install the package from your board in Vivado (Tools -> Vivado Store -> Boards)
- run the project creation script in Vivado (Tools -> Run TCL Script -> open "tridoracpu.tcl" in the **rtl/arty-a7 directory**)
- run synthesis, implementation and bitstream generation (Flow -> Generate Bitstream)
- program your device (Flow -> Open Hardware Manager), the bitstream file should be in **rtl/arty-a7/tridoracpu.runs/impl_1**
- the bitstream file for (temporarily) programming your device is named **top.bit**, the file for flashing your device is named **top.bin**
