#107839 - how totally worthless
Responding to: ???'s previous message
downloading the core into the FPGA and then downloading the hex-files to the "code" memory, hook up a uart and process the results
how totally worthless.

sure it will discover things like add 2 to 2 does not produce 4 but it will never discover the intricacate problemss you see examples of in the chip errata for the chips we use.

How is running a "random" program going to detect a problem like that if the serial and E1 interrupts happen within the same 5 nanoseconds of the instruction cycle the "chip" is gong to screw up?
