A curated awesome-list collecting documentation for a wide range of CPUs and microcontrollers, including datasheets, programmer's manuals, and quick reference cards. It covers architectures from classic PDP machines and Z80 to ARM, RISC-V, PowerPC, and x86-64.
Use cases
- find the programmer's manual for the Z80
- look up ARM architecture reference documentation
- get datasheets for AVR microcontrollers
- find ISA documentation for RISC-V
- research PDP-11 instruction set details
- collect reference cards for embedded MCU development
When to choose
- you need official or historical CPU/MCU documentation in one place
- you are writing an emulator, compiler, or assembler and need ISA references
- you want a curated starting point for architecture research
When to avoid
- you need executable tools or SDKs rather than documentation
- you need modern GPU or SoC-level documentation
- you want tutorials rather than reference manuals
