2023hackadayprize Finished project 8 bit processor Digital logic computer architecture educational

This project is submitted for

  • Supplyframe DesignLab: 2023 Hackaday Prize
  • Re-engineering Education

This project was created on 04/24/2023 and last updated 5 months ago.

Description

A rebuild of ben eater's sap-1 8bit processor architecture but with mostly cmos chips and some additional functionalities like instructions keypad and an address keypad, dot matrix memory data viewer, a shottky diode matrix rom, and a boot loader that programs the ram with the data on the rom

The whole propose is educational for those who really wish to understand how a processor works on a very basic and easy to understand and tinker with scale

This thing can teach you all about logic, electronics, data, and even what "compiling" really mean and mashine language, since you can write programs for this computer in 0s and 1s

Tis computer draws about 500mA at maximum current consumption and 310mA in idea with a clock speed that can go up to 100Hz, terrific i know right? 😂

With 128bits(8×16) of ram and a 64bit(8×8) rom and 10 instructions set

I'd like to add a bigger memory and more instructions in the future for more complex programs

This 8-bit educational computer gives students the opportunity to delve deeper into the architecture of computer systems and develop skills that will form the basis for their further achievements in the world of information technology. This really amazes me. I once asked to write my essay for me about technology, I found https://edubirdie.com/write-my-essay-for-me for this. When I read it, I was already surprised at how much the world had advanced. Every year there are some new discoveries and inventions. We are moving very fast in this area. In 20 years, our planet will be unrecognizable.
