How a cpu works???

Pi runs a distro of Debian. Edison runs Linux. If you want to get really small, check this out.

Adafruit Pro Trinket - 5V 16MHz ID: 2000 - $9.95 : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits
or this
Arduino bootloader-programmed chip (Atmega328P) ID: 123 - $5.95 : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits To roll your own creation.
Or this
Arduino Micro without Headers - 5V 16MHz ATmega32u4 - Assembled ID: 1315 - $22.95 : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits
And finally this
DC Boarduino (Arduino compatible) Kit (w/ATmega328) [v1.0] ID: 72 - $17.50 : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits

All of this is open source so you can copy and modify to your heart's content. All of the Arduino data including layouts and schematics are at the Arduino website.
(No I don't work for Adafruit. It's just I won't refer some one unless I shop there. Check out SparkFun and Pololu. Careful at Pololu. It's a geeks candy store.)

Wow that third and first ones look good, I may research a bit more into them.

NP zaka.

Look at raspberry pi?

Do u mean np as no problem or not possible?

lol no problem, you said thanks for the info

Did you look at raspberry pi?

Simple projects you can do with it( you can do more advanced stuff too)

I like the idea of making a tor router and i'd probably buy a pi but, i want to go one step further and actually create the hardware myself. Ik i won't make anything powerful, just a 1 mhz (or even less) cpu and 512 bytes of ram but its still cool tho . I'm actually willing to spend my entire teenage life on this project so i think that is enough for research

The magic of the CPU was granted by the alien technologies reverse engineered from the Roswell incident back in 1952. As far as all human beings know the CPU is a device that, once plugged into a compatible motherboard, actually creates a little consciousness.

It was actually 1947 lol.

Geoffrey Dummer proposed we use silicon in microchips in 1952

Ok, I found something relevant to what I want to do:
Home-Built TTL CPU

Found a tut too:

I was referencing Roswell going with your joke.

Zaka what is the project you wanted to do that you brought up in your first post?
