As I understand it, they quietly re-encoded some insns to new opcodes and reused the old opcode space so you can't even trap & emulate.

@RichFelker Maybe we can finally supplant MIPS with OpenRISC or RISC-V or something... -

@cr1901 Neither has viable real hardware yet, though. -
@RichFelker I can live with FPGA impls for now. Even w/ real ASIC impls, it's not going to be easy to use in hobbyist projects :(. -
@RichFelker I can't SMD solder well. I can pay companies to do it for me after I make a PCB design. Guess how many PCBs I made w/o mistakes? -
@RichFelker (Zero. Exactly zero. I have yet to make a PCB where I didn't find a mistake after they came back from the fab.) -
@cr1901 This is why it's not viable. Their academics are too busy making theoretical optimized designs, ignoring need to make _boards_. - 2 more replies
