it's just a breakout board for the 65816 that plugs directly into my Altera DE2 FPGA Board. so i can do stuff with the 816 without designing a whole system from scratch. currently the FPGA only acts as a clock source, ROM, and single IO Device (An 8 bit Register hooked up to the 8 green LEDs at the bottom right)
the test program just increments A, writes it to the IO Register, and then does an Increment Loop with Y (16-bit) to add a bit of delay so you can actually see the LEDs flashing.
it runs stable at 18.75MHz right now (pretty good for 3.3V!
so maybe the bank address/data bus multiplexer is a bit slow so it can lag behind the clock when it gets too fast?
either way i'll see if i can keep this speed as i add more things to the FPGA (i assume so since there is nothing between the CPU and FPGA being added, it's all internal so it should be a perfect target for overclocking)
