You could then run my CP/M clone on it too, if it supports Z80 instructions:

But I do not think AVR knows about LDIR?
LD (IX-12), value?

Yes, they are made by Norwegian Chinese and headquartered in San Jose
Chinatown. Chinese is a genetic term for hard working technical
people.

Good enough to control and power the ASICs.

Can CP/M runs in 4 to 8K RAM? Oh, wait. AVR can't run from RAM.
