You are 100% right. This project fits 100% with my personality. I like to understand in details what I'm working on, even if I need to "loose" time exploring things not directly linked to what I'm supposed to do. And I also like systems that are designed at necessary level.

Hi, this is fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

I would be curious to know what your level of proficiency was in some of these areas such as C, Verilog, writing assemblers, programming FPGAs, board wrapping, etc.

How much learning did you as you went vs how much prior exposure did you have to some of these things?

Are there any resources you found helpful or that you would recommend to others who want to undertake a similar project?

Cheers.

I started this project with only standard electronic knowledges. I had no experience of FPGAs, of writing compiler and assemblers. I learned these topics as an autodidact. It is a "learning by doing" project. And of course, I have learned tons of new things, this is a very rewarding project.
