Tiny Tapeout R0

Ultra-precise human reaction meter

Why this project is so cool for learning

• Design complexity: VGA, FSM, PRNG, Timers, Buttons, BCD counter and Bitmap Font introduce more fun in a design process.
• Area-focused optimizations: In FPGA, you mainly perform optimizations related to timing requirements, but in ASIC, it is more important to keep the area of the design small.
• Fun and Curiosity: It is interesting to measure the speed of your own reaction and be sure that the input is not delayed by the CPU and the timer does not fail.

Run Demo

Make sure verilator and SDL3 are installed. The button is mapped to the space bar.

Warning

Demo speeds up timers to compensate low frame rate

cd demo
cmake -B build
cmake --build build -j
./build/tt_r0
