What is the Agon Light, and what is the Agon Console8 The Agon Light is a modern, fully open-source, 8-bit microcomputer and microcontroller in one small, low-cost board, designed by Bernado Kastrup aka The Byte Attic. As a computer, it is a standalone device that requires no host PC: it puts out its own video (VGA), audio (2 identical mono channels), accepts a PS/2 keyboard and has its own mass-storage in the form of a µSD card. The Olimex Agon Light 2 and the Agon Light Origins edition are variations on the original Agon Light design. The Agon Console8 is a version of the Agon Light that also includes two Atari-compatible joystick ports, and a PS/2 mouse port, and a stylish case. It was also designed by Bernado Kastrup aka The Byte Attic, and is manufactured by Heber Ltd. The Agon Light, Olimex Agon Light 2, and the Agon Console8 are all fully compatible with each other. Software written for one will run on the other, and the same firmware can be used on both. In this documentation, generally, the term “Agon Light” is used to refer to all variations. The main CPU is an eZ80F92, a modern Zilog Z80 microcontroller that is fully backwards compatible with the Z80. As well as running in a traditional 8-bit mode with a 64K address space, it can run in 24-bit mode with a 16MB address space, and is also capable of running in a hybrid mode with a mixture of 24-bit and 8-bit code. The eZ80F92 integrates a number of standard peripherals, including a UART, and hardware timers. There is a second CPU dedicated to handling video, sound, and keyboard, an ESP32-Pico-D4. This co-processor is linked to the eZ80F92 via a UART (a high speed serial communications link), and acts as a graphics terminal.
