  1. My CDP1802-equivalent RTL core can run at 166 Mhz in an XCKU5P Kintex Ultrascale+ FPGA (-1 speed grade). Given that my core takes exactly 1/8 as many clocks per instruction as a real CDP1802, this means that it will run at the equivalent speed of a 1.33 GHz CDP1802.
    The real CDP1802 typically ran at 2.0 to 3.2 MHz.

  6. "The COSMAC (Complementary Symmetry Monolithic Array Computer) is an 8-bit microprocessor family introduced by RCA. It is historically notable as the first CMOS microprocessor."

    "Successors to the 1802 [ . . . ] have [ . . . ] enhanced features [ . . . ] There are also some minor pin function changes, but the line continues to be produced in its original 40-pin dual in-line package (DIP) format."

    That's pretty cool! Just learned about the #COSMAC from @requiem 's comment hackers.town/@requiem/11209580… .

  11. I have other projects that should take precedence but I couldn't help myself. I put one of the #COSMAC #ELF boards on the workbench and entered the traditional test program which simply flashes the Q LED. Absolutely chuffed to see it working first try!

  16. @trithorn I'd argue that there are people better positioned to make good use of this. I didn't know anything about the #COSMAC 1802 stuff until today. I'm excited to learn more about it. I've been reading a lot already and what I HAVE learned is that the 1861 Pixie graphics chip is really hard to find right now so I'm glad that at least one of the two systems in the box has the chip present.
