YatCPU

简体中文 | English

YatCPU(Yet another toy CPU) is a simple three-stage pipeline RISC-V implementation written in Chisel 3 HDL with support for AXI4-Lite, featuring its painless hands-on experience and VGA output for fun.

You can play Tetris on your own CPU!

You can also run an NES emulator!

Heavily inspired by tinyriscv, this project is still in its very early stage and under active development. We are looking forward to your feedback and contributions!
