Something really cool that dropped on the FPGAming discord this weekend: Someone named Tom Salvo is making an FPGA core for UXN! (That's the 100 Rabbits fantasy console: https://100r.co/site/uxn.html) This allows UXN to be run on Analogue Pocket and potentially later on MiSTers. This is the first pure-hardware (well, gateware, but that counts) implementation of a UXN execution environment I am aware of.
@mcc thanks for the shout out 😄 I will be asking for some pointers on the discord if I get really stuck! Last week, the core ran enough opcodes to draw one pixel, which took a couple months to even get that far. so I feel like it’s moving along pretty well now! I still don’t know how to properly debug, but I can simulate with ghdl and print what’s happening, which has been good enough so far!
I’m determined to see this through, even though I’m not always the best at finishing things 😅
The Wikipedia article devoted to Steve Linford says: "With the arrival of the Internet Linford refocused the company in 1996 as an internet technologies company called Ultradesign Internet, around which he built a server hosting network called UXN."
