Gladius

An 8 Bit Computer Built From Scratch

About the Project

Gladius is an ongoing personal project to design and build a fully functioning 8 bit computer from scratch. The project involves creating both the hardware and software components necessary for the computer to operate, including the CPU, memory, input/output interfaces, and an operating system.

Currently in the design phase, I am working on making the storage module and program counter. The goal is to eventually have a complete, working 8 bit computer that can run simple programs and perform basic computing tasks.

This project is a great way to learn about computer architecture and low-level programming, as well as gain hands-on experience with electronics and hardware design.
