This video provides a comprehensive guide on transitioning from theoretical computer architecture to a functional hardware implementation by building an 8-bit CPU using VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) and FPGA technology. The tutorial follows the Von Neumann architecture philosophy, where both instructions and data share a common memory space.
Join me on this journey.
