Documented, not bench-verified
The toolchain path and proposed milestones are documented. No emulator run or physical Game Boy Advance bench result is claimed.
Documented means the research path and planned work are public. It does not mean firmware compiled, a simulation ran, or physical hardware passed at the bench.
An accessible path into real ARM silicon.
A clean-room Rust toolchain (agb) abstracts the memory-map math while leaving registers visible. Ideal for demonstrating AI-assisted DMA timing work, sprite-sheet pipelines, and GBATEK register translation into modern abstractions.
What the case file proposes next
- Sprite demo
- DMA + IRQ explainer
- mGBA developer tooling
