TG68 - The Open Source Minimig CPU into the FPGA

[Colin_Camper]

This is fantastic!

The unstoppable steamroller that is Minimig rolls on!

Let's see....

If it is Captain Dennis then it is definitely Lieutenant Tobias! :-)

Hardly, you need to reread Dennis's post I think the results show that the TG68 takes up about 70% of the MiniMig v1.x FPGA, leaving no room for MiniMig

I don't think this is an issue.
Anyone building a Minimig v1.1 will be using a physical 68000 anyway. In fact I think there will be always a demand for the 68000 based minimig going from v1.1 on. I own a v1.1 and I also intend to build an altera version.

More to the point, it would be good to take all the necessary elements from the DE2 and the additional requirements (I/O, video etc) and come up with a schematic/PCB layout for a dedicated Altera minimig board. Minimig v1.0a ? With no 68000 required and cheap memory this could be an interesting platform.  :-)

I just bought a DE2 from Terasic.

They quoted 2 days shipping to the U.K. and they even take Paypal!  :-)

Maybe the Altair pic should be left in all it's glory.

Boy! Back in the day I would have loved one of those.  :-)
