<jleightcap>oriansj: that's interesting to hear.
<jleightcap>i've shifted my focus to implementing a stack machine, after looking into knight's ISA it's too complex for TTL
<jleightcap>happy to report back to this channel my progress!
<oriansj>jleightcap: nice; I am guessing something probably along the lines of https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~koopman/stack_computers/sec4_2.html ?
<oriansj>or hardcoded instructions?
<oriansj>(the only recommendation I have is include signed and unsigned 32bit operations and a handful of byte instructions and you'll be able to get to M2-Planet+unxz)
<oriansj>JMP.Z IMMEDIATE, NOT, AND, OR and XOR would in theory be enough to be turing complete but BRANCH, RETURN, push immediate and add/sub logic would greatly simplify early programming steps.
