After a few hours of debugging, I finally finished what's basically the final lab for my computer class. It was somewhat cool; in our circuit simulator program, we were to build basically a tiny little computer (would have been state of the art 45 years ago). It's tons of fun debugging programs written in pure binary on a register level, let me tell you. I went through 10 versions of the microcontroller before finally getting it right. Good feeling to have it done though. Now I just need to finish lab 12 as well, since it's apparently due tomorrow, but is supposedly no big deal. It's just a simple thing, done in Verilog to get us used to it.
I will say it's pretty cool knowing in this much details how the internals work. You can sure build up amazing levels of complexity.
