This repository contains code (and schematics and whatever) related to my version of a Ben Eater inspired breadboard computer using the MOS Technologies 6502 (actually its modern equivalent, the Western Design Company W65C02, which is still in production as of this writing).

So far, this project is quite minimal and I don't have a definitive plan for what direction I'll be going with it. However, I plan to keep this repository up to date so that users have all resources necessary for reproducing both the computer itself and the code I run on it. Furthermore, I plan to only include code here that is released under free and open-source licenses, and thus will avoid including code such as WozMon (assumed copyrighted) or Microsoft BASIC (explicitly copyrighted).

All of the code in this repository was written for the ca65 assembler and ld65 linker, both part of the open-source cc65 cross-development package. Once you have this installed, building the code should be as simple as cloning the repo and running make:

$ git clone https://github.com/elijahmathews/6502.git
$ cd 6502
$ make

You can then use a chip programmer (such as the XGecu TL866II+) combined with a controller application (such as the open-source Minipro controller) to write the output rom1.bin ROM image to a 28C256 ROM chip.
