       Isle 🏝️ is my new #FPGA project.Isle is a simple, modern computer — an open design that encourages tinkering, experimentation, and doing your own thing. I hope to inspire you to come on a journey with me and build your own computer. http://projectf.io/isle/fpga-computer.html

       Isle currently targets @machdyne Lakritz, Digilent Nexys Video, Radiona ULX3S, and Verilator/SDL simulation that runs on your PC or Mac.Designs, docs, and test benches are available under the MIT license: https://github.com/projf/isle

       I don't yet have a complete system to share with you. Getting the design right takes a lot of experimentation; I've hit dead ends several times. I'll gradually introduce components over the coming months. The first part looks at display signals. #FPGA đź“şhttps://projectf.io/isle/display.html

       Part of the Isle #FPGA computer project is explaining my design choices. I hope this is interesting and aids you when working on your own hardware. In the display modes post, I explain why I'm supporting 1366x768, 1024x768, and 1280x720: https://projectf.io/isle/display-modes.html

       Isle Verilog modules include #cocotb tests and reference docs. Writing docs is time consuming but worthwhile. It's hard to learn from existing designs without them. #FPGAHere's a simple example; it could be better, but it's something to build on: https://github.com/projf/isle/blob/main/hardware/gfx/doc/display.md

       With bitmap graphics display working, the next few Isle #FPGA Computer updates will cover:• 2D drawing engine• Unicode Text Mode• RISC-V CPU (existing design)Once these components are in place, I'll assemble an initial version of the computer.
