Porting a core, DeMiSTified – Part 2 – 2021-02-25
The goal is to provide an environment in which a MiST core can be included as a submodule, thus porting the core to a new target board without making large-scale changes. To do this, we’re going to need a toplevel for each target board which maps the signals of MiST’s FPGA to board-specific resources.
Let’s take a close look at a MiST core’s toplevel…

There are many FPGA cores out there which could be ported to the Turbo Chameleon 64 cartridge. In some cases it’s just a question of somebody doing the legwork, in other cases it gets a little bit more involved – but can we do anything to make the amount of work required more manageable?
Long-time readers will know by now that I don’t ask that kind of question out loud unless I already know that the answer is yes!
