If I tell what we got for our projects you would be disappointed at my university. We get nothing not even a single FPGA kit is available in the whole department.

This is a nice idea! I never knew of this will look into it. Actually our university did not even provide us with chips to make breadboard version we had to source everything ourselves.

We actually made it on breadboards, since it was hardwired the bread-borad is now a sea of wires everywhere, and some things are not working too. I am thinking of getting a custom PCB just for the control unit to make it presentable.

Actually this was my very first implementation, even in simulation it had to be made on boards someday keeping timing skew and capacitance of boards in mind i decided to flip the clock, this will give the control unit a head start of half a cycle and get everything ready before the clock reached the next high, this trick was also used in one of the projects I mentioned at last page in the document. I had to probe and check every signal keeping the standard gate delays of 74 series in equation too!

Actually it writes again after every hard reset. but i added a push button to stop it, logically speaking we only turn our computer on once and then run it till our tasks are done. Similarly we do it here, but still the best option for me was to use a separate ROM address in Program counter and use it. It was a simple use case where you Just copy everything the the RAM from permanent memory.
