How It Works
The TinyPong chip is an ASIC meant to run a simple single-player Pong game on a 640x480 Hz. This is meant to be a fun and
cool demo project for the Hacker Fab club at Case Western Reserve University.
How To Test
We're aiming to have the chip have a VGA interface so you can plug that VGA port into any monitor to see the Pong game happen
in action. For extra safety, assert the rst_n pin low temporarily to "start" the chip.
External Hardware
Some external hardware to test this chip would be a USB-C cable (and a laptop to program the chip), VGA port for interfacing, and a 640x480 display to see the pong game work.
