| | When I set out to build a simple computer with an FPGA ( here, here, and here), my end goal was always to display something on a computer monitor. VGA was a natural choice because its simple and analog, rather than the complex digital nature of something like HDMI. All you have to do is place voltages on some pins at a specific frequency and the monitor is able to interpret it as colors displayed at a certain resolution.

| | In the last part I ended up with a partially working CPU with most of the single-clock instructions implemented. So far, all of the testing was done in simulator only, and it's about time to to get a visual output, so I implemented the display sprite operation next. Other articles in the series: CHIP-8 in FPGA #1 (ALU) CHIP-8 in FPGA #2 (CPU) Display instruction: DXYN The DXYN opcode is described in the original manual as:

| One of the most exciting technological developments from the semiconductor side of things is the rapid development of the ecosystem around the open-source RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA). One landmark in its rise is that the architecture appears to be moving beyond just behind-the-scenes projects to challenging Intel/AMD's x86 architecture and ARM (used by Apple...
