References: CPE380 A Simple Computer

These are reference materials about building a very simple implementation of a processor using "CPE282 stuff." Only a small fraction of this, mostly CPE282 review material, is discussed in Appendix B of the textbook. The text does not discuss this simple computer design at all: the materials linked here are the primary reference.
