CERBERUS 2100™ is an educational multi-processor 8-bit computer, featuring both Z80 and 6502 CPUs, plus an AVR processor as I/O controller. Built with CPLDs, CERBERUS 2100™ is fully programmable even with respect to its hardware, at the level of individual gates and flip-flops. It runs BASIC interpreters for both CPUs, but can also be used in a 'bare metal' mode through its built-in BIOS. It can even be extended through its expansion slot, which comes paired with a powerful, generic communications protocol that allows for Direct Memory Access (DMA).

In this first episode, I give an overview of the computer and demonstrate its basic capabilities. I also discuss at length the educational features of the machine.
