Could you build this?

No It is an FPGA soft-core SoC for custom hardware, requiring HDL, hardware design, and board-level debugging that vibe coding can't substitute for.

What it would actually take: The stack is LiteX/Migen for SoC generation, VexRiscv as the CPU, LiteDRAM for SDRAM, and Yosys/nextpnr toolchains for synthesis and place-and-route. Building a working version means designing and verifying memory controllers, peripherals, and timing closure on a specific FPGA board, plus firmware bring-up. It requires digital hardware design and FPGA engineering expertise along with access to the target hardware.
