TrackZero 6502tor #4 - Executing Your First Instruction
See the first three parts here: TrackZero's 6502tor Videos and the NES Development Card, ...
See the W65C02S datasheet at: https://www.westerndesigncenter.com/wdc/documentation/w65c02s.pdf and the Masswerk instruction reference at: https://www.masswerk.at/6502/6502_instruction_set.html.
This is programming from scratch: there is no software at all on this machine when it starts. You have to input all the programs using a hard-wired logic circuit, which allows the RAM of the machine to be loaded from mechanical switches. See Mitsuru Yamada - Floating Point Arithmetic on a Homemade 6502 Computer for some idea of how far you can take this "bare metal programming".
