A CPU that aims to be binary compatible with the 8086 and with as many optimisations as possible
### Progress
* [X] Executing code
* [X] Is Turing complete
* [ ] Can boot up MS-DOS / FreeDOS
* [ ] Is completely binary compatible
* [ ] 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
* Icarus Verilog version 11.0 (stable) OR **(preferred)** Verilator 5.006
* bin86 : 0.16.21
* GNU Make : 4.4.1
* xxd : 2022-01-14
* GNU coreutils : 9.1
After that you can run `make` on the top level directory and it should build everything and start the simulation
