you are using this in a mill or workshop you have??
or a automotive or robot project??
ah.
and external clock?? i didn't know one could obtain a external clock.
though i would be modifying linux for a intel pc ( as against the raspberry's arm processor ) maybe i will find this link useful, so thanks.
yeah, the whole project is meant to be open source anyway.
well, a fpga board ( xilinx ) costs 1.25+ lakhs and i don't have that money now.
so the vlsi design will come in the second stage.
i am not a engineer by college education... i dropped out during 10+2 and got myself into niit ( the institute ) and then became a teacher in a then national-level computer institute.
about two years after i left the institute i was bored so learnt x86 assembly using a general digital electronics book and the 'debug' program on windows os and in five months used the bochs pc emulator and bcc compiler on linux to write a simple five-commands operating system that was inspired by the microkernel architecture of qnx os.
a friend of a friend of a friend got to know of this project and two years later we started a company to build the os into a proper graphical os... he put in the money and we had a proper office in a portion of the office space on the fourth floor of his house... his father was a former government scientist and his ( the father's friends ) were in various government organizations and would enquire about the os... foolishly me and my company partner had a silly fall-out and we closed the office.
but some years later i thought i should design a processor and use it in a futuristic computer that should look like one from the film 'red planet' ( rollable screen computers were the talk then ) :
the processor design originally i focusing on making efficient the intel x86 instructions and having clock of 400 mhz... later i thought why a clock at all... and then i created a set of simple and general-purpose 160-bit instructions that are eleven in number and then the overall computer design changed too.
