From the project
Homebrew 6502-based computer
The ByteCradle 6502 is a single-board computer (SBC) platform designed for understanding and experimenting with simple operating systems on 8-bit hardware. Built around the WDC 65C02 microprocessor, it provides a hands-on platform for studying system initialization, memory management, device interfacing, and file system handling.
