The Ember PIA โ€” Initial Design Part 1: Peripheral Interface Adapter

Adding keyboard and gamepad support to the Ember design requires some sort of Peripheral Interface Adapter (PIA). This device will interact with keyboards over PS/2 or USB, and game controllers usingโ€ฆ

Boards look great! Starting the slow bring up with just the CPU, RAM, and ROM...and, of course, clock circuit and logic analyzer...

The Flame GPU โ€” Initial Design Part 2: Tilesheets, Tilemaps, and Graphics Registers

Next, we will look at the fundamental structures we need to implement a display processor and basic text display mode for the Ember Virtual Console
