+ICs which provide a more generic interface for serial communications
+\cite{pc16550}. Most SOCs
+\footnote{SOC... System on a Chip} have some form of serial communication
+interface. The most common serial interface voltages are 3.3V, 5V and levels
+as per TIA-/EIA-232 specification\cite{rs232}.
+
+\paragraph{Parallel Port interface}
+
+Parallel ports are absent on most modern computer systems but historically have
+been the high speed interfaces on computers. Early computer systems used 
+parallel-ports for expansions and the ISA-Bus
+\footnote{ISA...Industry Standard Architecture} was for some time the main way
+of expansion for PCs
+\footnote{PC in this thesis referrs to Computer Systems using the x86 
+Architecture}. Most younger people remeber parallel ports as the port for
+printers on their home PCs. A prallel port is easy to implement because it has
+simmilar use of control, data and address lines like a processor uses internally
+anyways\cite{laval_parallel}. Usage of the standard IEEE 1284 port limits the
+design to the signals on this port or makes the use of the signals on this port
+obligatory.
+
+\paragraph{Digital to Analog Converter}
+
+Digital to Analog Converters or more commonly DACs are used on all modern PCs
+for sound output. They have been around for longer and some external sound card
+interfaces have been standardisedlike AC '97\cite{ac97}. Implementation of a
+standard audio interface requires higher speed connections or more precise 
+timing for ac97 for example. Earlier computer systems did not have a sound card
+as it doesn't have import usage for computing and user input tasks and later
+on computer systems only had a PC speaker for diagnostics such as the IBM PC AT
+\cite{ibmpc} which can only procude one specific frequency and does not have a
+DAC. A dac is not easy to implement as it requires a constant sampling rate and
+a buffer to be of any practical use.
+
+\paragraph{Graphical output / GPU}
+
+Graphical output on older computer systems such as the EDVAC
+\cite{neumann} was not possible because it requires
+either a heavy load on the processor or dedicated hardware and due to the mostly
+scientific use it was easier to just print the caracters as letters via a
+printer. Drawing characters
+onto a screen is by itself not an easy task as it requires, for example for
+VGA a Digital to Analog Converter with 25MHz sampling rate and a buffer to
+contain all needed data for one frame or at least parts of it, while the CPU
+renders the frame\cite{vga}. Screen output is one of the if not the most common
+form of output on a computer today.
+
+\paragraph{Inter Integrated Circuit}
+
+Inter Integrated Circuit or IIC for short is a standard for serial transmission
+between Integrated circuits\cite{iic}. This is done on a master-slave basis and
+transmission speed is fairly low in standard 100kBit/s mode. The bus is used
+on many different platforms for many different things including HDMI DDC
+\cite{ddc}. Though there are some IIC ICs which can interface with a parallel
+bus such as the PCA9564 \cite{pca9564} but these are either limited in
+capability or not easy to use and implement. Most people don't have an
+understanding of IIC as it is only known in technical fields.
+
+\paragraph{Utility analysis}
+
+Among the above mentioned processor peripherials from the criteria mentioned
+before a utility analysis was performed. To do this different point have been
+credited for the criteria mentioned which can be seen in Table 
+\ref{tab:utility_base}. The multipliers in Table \ref{tab:utility_base} have
+been applied to the points and the sums in Table \ref{tab:utility_result} 
+resulted. Based on this 
+result the DAC and Serial Communication interface were chosen as peripherials.

+In early 2018, more than a year before the official start of the project, after
+searching for a subject for the diploma thesis, the idea of building a computer
+from scratch has come up. Multiple suggestions on how to implement it and the
+scope of the project were gathered. Originally the goal of the project was to
+have a computer which would consist of seperate plug-in cards on each of which
+one instruction would reside. This would debunk the mystery behind the ``black
+box`` which processors today are.
+
+Most processors today are only documented on the execution of their programs and
+not on their internals. The projects aim was later redirected, due to concerns
+about the difficulty of the project, to build a processor in VHDL instead. After
+several months of implementation time the project was split into two parts: the
+peripherials and the core processor. During the development processes and after
+rememberingthe original goal to make a processor understandable, the
+peripherials changed from being implemented in VHDL back to hardware, which came
+with increased work but would result in a far more understandable final product.
+
+The decision for a RISC-V based processor was made at the beginning of the 
+project, because the core architecture is well documented, modular and almost
+any part not implemented inside the processor(if not specifically
+required by the software) should be emulateable in software.
