DIY eP8080 FPGA Processor Workshop - CH Ting
This all-day workshop will consist of Ting’s presentations, one-on-one discussions, and individual efforts.

Attendees who would like to participant in this workshop should purchase a Brevia2 FPGA Development Kit from Lattice Semiconductors (about $50) and contact CH Ting by email or Meetup.com or through Kevin Appert (if you don’t have Ting’s email address) to obtain an eP8080 software package that synthesizes an Intel 8080 CPU. Workshop activities will include emulation experiments and discussions of old and new CPU architectures.

Alternatively you may participate by running the free Diamond IDE simulator or just watching and listening.

Additional presentation topics - CPU architecture of PDP1, Cardiac computer, PDP8, PDP11, Nova, Spark, MIPS, and ARM.
