Neat! But shouldn't this rather be called a nanocomputer? Minicomputers could still fill a room at their time [1]. Our desktop machines are “microcomputers”. [1]: https://www.computerhistory.org/revolution/minicomputers/11/...
Aside from the RISC instruction set part, all the specs scream standard 8-bit "microcomputer" of the late 70s and early 80s.
Slightly off topic, but I'm looking forward to FPGA tooling improving to the point where I can build a fantasy personal computer based on dragging and dropping architectural components into a design that compiles to hardware. I'm definitely too lazy to design from scratch or build by hand, and there's already so much out there designed for FPGAs, so just hoping one day it may be plug and play like the Mister is for e…
