This is my first go at a real FPGA project. I initially created a blink project to test my toolchain. I have created a 8bit computer from ICs and a breadboard in the past so I thought this would be a good starting point. This project has taken approxamately 3 weeks to get to this point.
The main goal is to have a simple CPU that can run a program hardcoded in memory. The program should be able to count down from some 8 bit number loaded from a memory location to zero. The current value should be displayed in LEDs.
A big shout out to lushaylabs.com for the instructions to get the toolchain up and running on MacOS.
Updates made after suggestions from r/FPGA are on a v2 branch.
