A CPU that aims to be binary compatible with the 8086 and with as many optimisations as possible ### Progress * [ ] 8086 * [X] Executing code * [X] Is Turing complete * [ ] Can boot up MS-DOS / FreeDOS * [ ] Is completely binary compatible * [X] Is pipelined * [ ] Is Out of Order * [ ] Is superscalar * [ ] Has been successfully synthesized ### Simulating it Both Verilator and Icarus Verilog can be used for simulation. You can select which one you want with the SIM variable on [common.mk](./common.mk) Specifically this list shows the software needed and the versions used during development (other versions should work as well) * Icarus Verilog : version 11.0 OR **(preferred)** Verilator : 5.008 * bin86 : 0.16.21 * GNU Make : 4.4.1 * xxd : 2022-01-14 * POSIX coreutils : GNU coreutils 9.3 After that you can run `make` on the top level directory and it should build everything and start the simulation ### High level design overview ### License All parts of this project are licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3 or later ### Version names The version name consist of three numbers: 1. The CPU that this version aims to be compatible with 1. The specific milestone 1.
