The TMS7000 is is a lesser known microcontroller family from Texas Instruments. The EVM700 is a development environment build in hardware with native processor, monitor, assembler, debugging facility, EPROM programming and In-Circuit-Emulation. There is now a replica of the board*. This board is created by Ruud Baltissen (http://www.baltissen.org/newhtm/EVM7000.html).

The TMS7000 instruction set is not derived from a generic microprocessor, but designed for microcontroller-usage from the start.

At the moment of starting this project at Hackaday, the basic functionality of the board; monitor, text editor and assembler are working. The EPROM programming and In-Circuit-Emulation hardware has to be added and tested. 

A side project is attempting to document the firmware and modify it functionality.
