Cramming Everything In

I’ve made a little bit of progress on the CPU in a CPLD project. As mentioned previously, this will be an 8-bit CPU with a 10-bit address space, targeting a 128 macrocell CPLD. The instruction set will be a simplified…

A CPU in a CPLD

OK, the CPU design spark is back, sooner than I’d expected. I have an urge to implement a minimal CPU using a CPLD. If you’re not familiar with the term, a CPLD is a simple programmable logic chip, existing somewhere…

RC Servo Signal Decoder, Part 2

It works! I’ve continued poking away at this circuit to decode an RC airplane servo signal and trigger a camera shutter during flight, and I’m happy to report success!Once I switched to using the CD4013 flip-flop with a positive logic…

Fail

OK, it’s time to admit defeat. 3D Graphics Thingy is not going to happen. It’s been six months since I worked on it. Heck, I even let my web hosting account expire due to neglect. So what happened? I ran…

SDRAM

I think I’m making life more difficult than it needs to be, trying to get this DDR2 SDRAM interface to work. It’s not that the logical interface is so complicated, really… you set your row and column addresses, do a…
