Files and resources for DIY 8 bit computer video series
In this video, I evaluate possibilities for adding a display to the 8-bit computer, and perform some initial experiments to generate an 800x600 SVGA signal using an FPGA.
The FPGA board I am using is the Upduino 3.0, which uses the Lattice UltraPlus ICE40UP5K FPGA. One great advantage of this FPGA family is that it can be programmed using the Open Source IceStorm toolchain. I am using apio as a front-end for the FPGA tools.
