Microprocessors—you
either love them or you hate them. If you hate yours,
it’s probably because it doesn’t do what you want it
to. Naturally, the bugs are the chip’s fault. Don’t
you wish someone would make a processor that actually
has the features you want?
Ta-da!
Cue Aladdin music. Your wish has been granted. Now,
you can design your own microprocessor without years
of studying for your doctorate in Computer Science.
You can be running code on your own microprocessor before
the end of this week.
