There is a file generated by Quartus at https://github.com/alfikpl/ao486/blob/df6eba123654fdf3e3058c... I'm not sure, but it does seem mostly manual. I tend to agree that RTL is somehow particularly mind numbing. I would guess that in…

One interesting 486 "machine" is the ao486: https://opencores.org/projects/ao486 https://github.com/alfikpl/ao486 I believe it is the highest version, completely open FPGA of the x86 architecture. This may be some kind of argument for…

There's a 486 open core under a BSD-ish license: https://github.com/alfikpl/ao486 I have this on an FPGA and it can run DOOM albeit a bit slowly.
