The shoe’s on the other FAFOOT.
Thanks @LaurentFr And yes there are.
https://github.com/peterzieba/5Vpld is an excellent consolidation of all the different ways to code em. I used wincupl as the yosys/verilog option does not support tristate pins. I packaged a full toolchain into a single docker image to make it easier for me.
I have 2 wip repos:
https://github.com/dinoboards/vga-for-rc
and https://github.com/dinoboards/cpld-toolchain
Doing the best I can to distract myself from the madness of the world. Just powered on my latest design for the #eZ80 on #RCBus. A 5V #VGA graphics module. 640x480 @ 256 glorious #retrocomputing colours. As the guy in the basement would say "it freakin works!"
I have listed my eZ80 for RC kit on @lectronz . EU customers may find its support for VAT collection more convenient. The store is open to all.

Would you like my other kits(Yellow MSX) listed here also?
Better Than OPL3? The FM Chip Nobody Talks About
Just updated the listing for the #eZ80 For RC kit on Tindie. Now with a bigger battery (CR2450). Upgrade option available, for existing owners. #RC2014 #RCBUS #retrocomputing https://www.tindie.com/products/dinotron/ez80-for-rc/
I have new product in my Tindie Store. Combined with my patch for #RomWBW - you can access many types of USB devices from your #Z80 #RC2014 #RCBus systems. https://www.tindie.com/products/dinotron/usb-for-rc/
Am I dreaming? Can I port #Wolfenstein3d to my #eZ80 on #rcbus. Might be hard on a stock #V9958 VDP, but perhaps my fpga version of it.
@SM0RVV Great to hear its arrived. Hope you have fun with the build - and yes those pins are small - so don't sneeze! Good tweezer, clean desk, some patience and you will be fine. Good luck😀
@dinotron There are now only 2 left 😃
Thanks for putting the kit up on Tindie
ez80 continues to learn old tricks.
@hp still experimenting a bit. Take my time with it. Use a bit of flux and soldering iron. Start with one pin. Then another on the opposite side. Then gently let the solder and flux flow with the iron. Don't have a microscope - have a magnifying light that helps a bit.
@andymccall not quite. There are some critical and subtle differences between the chips. Some software needs to be patched to work. Have a look at my hackaday project for some of the issues.
@gilesgoat It's my design. Hence my surprised state of amazement when it works 😁
Always amazed when it works - hand soldered another LQFP-100 ez80 CPU.

is it just me - or is poor hackaday.io #hackaday being hacked? I hope they are ok.
I did see some spamming accounts flooding the site a few days ago with adds for fake doctor certificates!
@stefanie Thats really cool. Looking forward to hearing how it progresses. Cheers
@stefanie Thank you. I am finding that the eZ80 is more popular than I initially thought. Would love to hear about your project.
I have hackaday projects, that details somewhat my progress: https://hackaday.io/dinotron
The ez80 stuff is still only a few days old. Have a fork of RomWBW project and a firmware project:
