Historical record: Entries in this directory preserve the design as it was discussed on their publication date. They are not canonical current documentation. Some describe superseded word widths, register designs, ISA counts, software versions, or preview-only behavior. Use
../status.mdfor present facts and../documentation-policy.mdwhen claims differ.
The journal records the path from early datapath experiments through the discrete ALU slice, FPGA Tomato, Tomato OS, and later integrations. Historical content is intentionally not rewritten.
