For a Meta Assembler you may find
https://hamblen.ece.gatech.edu/book/wintim/index.html
useful, its useable and the source is available (as VS6 C++).
If you have AmdAsm sources, esp suitable for building with gcc, I would be interested in
making their acquaintance.
You may find FPGAs and their infrastructure useful. Beyond the simulators (ModelSim,
etc), there is logic analyser IP which can be used on both VLIW sequencers / scalar mills
in the fabric and on external circuitry. Xilinx Vivado is a reasonable toolset to start
with. For dev boards Artix-7 or Zynq boards on AliExpress may meet your needs.
Personally, I use the AM2910 and suchlike as a legacy example and roll my own sequencer
design / instructions. The FPGA fabric provides fast MAC elements (eg DSP48), and dual
port RAM (in 36 kb chunks) for both control and data memory.
Best Regards
Martin

At first any Macroassembler should do the job for coding the bits in the control store,
but even AMDASM and friends are laying around somwhere on my disks. I thin the time to
talk about "real software" is when the cpu sucessfully adds it's first
bytes..
