Aetheron v1.0.0 – C Payload Support & Bootable SoC

This release marks the first complete version of Aetheron — a minimal RISC-V SoC capable of booting from ROM and executing C programs from RAM.

Key Features:

• Bootloader that copies payload from ROM to RAM and jumps
• Full support for C payloads with crt0 and linker scripts
• Verified UART output from C programs
• 32 KiB memory map for ROM and RAM
• Clean Makefile flow for building, wrapping, and simulating payloads

This version is fully simulation-ready and structured like a real embedded system.
