Building

Building the project is largely self-explanatory; just build as you normally would with Quartus. However, if you wish to change out assets, there are other steps you must take.

Building Microcode

cd support
npm run build

Alternatively you can directly run the microcode assembler

cd support
node micro_asm.js ../rtl/core/rom/microcode.asm ../rtl/core/rom/microcode.rom

and convert it into hex for ingestion by the tools

node modelsim.js ../rtl/core/rom/microcode.rom ../rtl/core/rom/microcode.hex 4

Verilator

For Verilator, you probably want to generate hex versions of the background and sprite assets.
