Hello all,
I'm thinking about a project to reimplement old processor designs (Symbolics Lisp-machines or a Control-Data cyber 17x, 18x in a chip) using modern programmable hardware, e.g. FPGA's.
The complete hardware documentation for these platform is available.
My knowledge in this task in not up-to-date, as I've not been working on hardware design for almost ten years (onyl software!).
I would like to get some suggestions about a FPGA Development environment and programming system to use for this task. Any other suggestions or links to similar projects are very welcome.
If there are other people interested in such kind of project, please contact me directly.
This is not a commercial project!
Andreas
