Draft:MIST FPGA

The MIST FPGA is an open source project and a hardware platform to recreate computers of the 1980s and 1990s using FPGA technology. The name is based on the Amiga and Atari ST (aMIga + ST), the first two computers the MIST aimed to recreate.

History

The project was started by Till Harbaum, who based his work on the previous MiniMIG project. Harbaum announced it publicly on a forum of Atari users in 2013.

The initial development of the Mist was documented in 2015 via a serie of articles in the German magazine in 2015 C't.[1]

Also surpassed in popularity by the MiSTer FPGA, the project is still active on GitHub, and new versions of the board are regularly produced.

Hardware

MIST uses a custom build FPGA board with a microcontroller, and includes analog connectors like classic Atari style joystick connectors and VGA output.

Recreated platforms are configured by selecting a FPGA configuration file, or "core", which describes the target platform in a hardware description language (HDL). The board microcontroller then loads the core unto the FPGA on startup.
