Learn FPGA Design with the Microchip veryVerilog Kit: From Setup to Your First Design Most engineers who work with microcontrollers eventually run into the same challenge. A project needs to respond faster than firmware can, or it requires several digital signals to be combined in hardware. While these tasks can often be handled with interrupt service routines or external logic ICs, the solution quickly becomes complex as the design grows. This is… |

This Original NES Now Has a Desktop, a Mouse and a Web Browser That Plays YouTube, Thanks to an FPGA Cartridge and an ESP32-S3 The Nintendo Entertainment System was never meant to be a computer. It has a 6502-based CPU, 2 KB of RAM and two controller ports. Yet Throaty Mumbo has turned his NES into something that looks and behaves a lot like a 1990s desktop PC: a Windows-style desktop with a start menu, files and a trash bin, a USB keyboard and mouse, a MIDI keyboard, CD and DVD playback, and a web browser that can… |
