Intel 8088 16-bit computer on a breadboard.
In this first video of the series I:
- set my goals for the series and talk about what I am going to do
- describe the 8088/8086 and show the differences between the two
- put the 8088 on a breadboard and start connecting all relevant pins explaining all the input and output signals of the CPU
- build a simple contraption to drive the CLOCK and RESET signals
- talk about 8086 address space and how it addresses the memory
- explain how the processor starts executing machine code after reset
- connect LEDs to all data/address and control pins to visualise their states
- start the CPU and analyse its behaviour step by step after reset
Visit my webpage slador.uk/ to find the list of all my videos and all the supporting materials.
You can find there schematics of this computer at every stage of building it during the videos as well as the source code of all the programmes I write for this series.
