  • To actually run DOOM on the device I needed to somehow cross-compile a version compatible with the device's processor. Fortunately, Nuvoton offers open-source code on GitHub for software development on their platforms. However the resources they provide requires third party software like KEIL to compile software, so I chose not to go that route. I decided to search through GitHub instead, and was able to find a repository that included the specific Nuvoton linux toolchain I was looking for, which didn't require the use of any third party software. After setting up the toolchain, my focus shifted to compiling fbDOOM, a variant of DOOM specifically designed to run on the Linux framebuffer.
