    The machine is still running on the Icoboard tethered to the PicoCalc with dupont wires, because I haven't finished my FPGA replacement brain.

    It's emulating itself in software because of my Turducken approach that I mentioned recently (see the docs in the repo). There's actually a second core in the FPGA that I could use instead; doing it this way cuts the time to something like 10 seconds, last I measured.

    The words related to bootstrapping using a target system (in this case, an emulator) have historically been in <angle> <brackets> but... angle brackets are so fricking unreliable to type on the PicoCalc that I just might change that!

    This is how you wind up with C-style names isn't it
