Hi Shawn,

AEMB is still very interesting, however the dual-thread feature was causing 
blocking technical issues and given that:
* I do not have time to make a single threaded version myself
* You did not make any progress on this version for more than a year
* I do not have the resources to hire you to do this job (I should get some 
funds maybe... but it works better with a working demo)
the only move to push the project forward was to switch to LatticeMico32.

However, if someday a single threaded version is available (and perhaps with 
also the nice features that Mico32 has, such as static branch prediction and 
2-way caches), I will definitely consider switching back to AEMB.

The switch to Mico32 is in no way meant to disappoint you, it is only 
motivated by technical and schedule reasons.

Regards,
Sébastien
