This is probably really amazing if you know what you're looking at. I have no idea what any of the parts do and what code is being run.

I would love to see someone give a "guided tour" though all the parts of the CPU, and step through some assembly to see how the things works.

I can see from the picture there are distinct areas, and large arrays of gates that might be memory or adders or I don;t know. It would be amazing to see an add interaction actually wire up some memory to some gate and see the result propagate through the CPU.

You could try to work through "Code, the hidden language" http://www.charlespetzold.com/code/

EDIT: The Art of Electronics has an accompanying book called the Student Manual, which will walk you through the process of (eventually) building a small computer.

He hasn't written anything about this ARM1 (yet), but Ken Shirriff (http://www.righto.com/) has some very interesting gate-level explanations about parts of other old processors scanned by the same Visual6502 project. Take a look, for instance, at these posts: http://www.righto.com/search/label/6502
