Thanks this is awesome! I have a comment to clarify why someone said CPLD is harder to understand than 7400 series logic (you probably know this)... They who do know what they're talking about only meant this: "If I don't have a design schematic then I would not know what the logic does inside, so it's harder to reverse-engineer what the CPLD is doing--and the company will not tell me". Obviously some comment like that originates from the idea of reverse-engineering old computers with proprietary designs, nothing to do with the wonderful thing you do which is to document and explain every part of the design so we can completely build our own or add what we see as helpful.
The computer may be commercialized by Olimex early next year. Currently it's not on sale, just available on Github for those who want to build it themselves.
Thanks this is awesome!

Ah, thanks for the clarification!
Awesome explanation, awesome bosrd
Ay yoooo we have the same power plug switch 🤭
thorough test!! (also world’s least efficient math coprocessor 😅). very interesting, I will look into CPLDs :)
Is your card available somewhere, seems like a good sbc to learn on..
