If you own and built Ben Eater's 6502 based breadboard computer, then you know the challenges.

Getting a program into RAM and debugging it.

I have been there at the end of 2019. And I quickly decided to use the supplied Arduino Mega as a serial interface. So I wrote a minimal bootloader / kernel / os with some basic functionality and added a loading mechanism as well as a hex monitor.

The result received a good number of stars on github as well as a number of quality contributions. So I decided to overhaul the docs, fix known bugs and release an updated version. And here we go … Sixty5o2 revised 2021.

If you are not sure about it, watch me demoing it over at our Youtube channel. Please be gracious, this is our first video production of this type and format, but I think you will find it entertaining.

Expect more to come. We are working on interesting 8bit topics, which we will share on Youtube as soon as they are ready.
