This is a process of building a handheld console. For this console I am going to be using a RISC-V microcontroller from Canaan, the Kendryte K210. This is a dual core 64-bit RISC-V microcontroller with floating point unit and 8 MB of RAM. I am not using the chip directly instead I will be using the Sipeed M1w stamp. For now I will not be using WiFi so it doesn’t matter if a M1 or M1w is used.

The design will be based of the Nintendo DS lite without the top half. So the console will have either a 2.8" or 3.2" screen(320x240). The games are gonna be loaded of a SD-card. So let the fun begin.
