Decomposed from #1

To watch a web video on our own hardware, we must build our own hardware.

marthinwurer commented 6 years ago

To do: What ISA (most likely RISC-V)? What language? What level (simulator, hdl, asic)? What build system? CI? Testing? What non-cpu things do we need for the end goal? What other end goals should we have? (Minecraft? Doom?) What kind of coding standards should we have? If we use VHDL, should we use Cliver or Gaisler?

At this point, I believe that we've decided to implement a basic RISC-V RV32I core in VHDL targeting a Xilinx FPGA. Next steps will be setting up the build architecture, and determining stretch goals. I will create tickets for those items.
