the code in the repo is for the FPGA, the processor that is strapped to the
FPGA well it runs the real code.
It's like the 'minimig' Amiga emulator platform, a real processor, and
FPGA
to do all the IO heavy lifting.
So it's not 100% FPGA but you are executing code on a real processor so you
aren't exactly full emulation either. And it doesn't cost a fortune,
assuming you can find one of these ancient microprocessors.

It's capable of running Unix v1 & some limited amount of v6 among
other
things. The FPGA in question the Tang Nano 20k is
sub 30GBP
delivered from
AliExpress.
Kind of neat to combine a real processor with a simple FPGA
implementation
of the hardware.
I just had a look at it, but he doesn't show the code, which runs on the
TangNano?
