No.

You're pretty much saying, I want to learn about mining for gold by picking apples at an apple orchard.

Thanks kano, you're the only remaining active developer of cgminer I assume. you did a great job.
I've used cgminer a long time ago for that purpose but now I think everything has been changed. So I need a working example in order to achieve my goal.

Yup! Pooler’s cpuminer compiles on recent machines and has optimizations for various CPU architectures. Give it a try, I found the C source very informative. https://github.com/pooler/cpuminer

To solo mine you’ll need to point it at a stratum server configured for solo mining. Public-pool is a good option; https://web.public-pool.io/ but there are several others too!

Why not share your thoughts here what exactly do you want to achieve?
We can maybe give you some idea of what you want to achieve.

I don't know if GPU/CPU still works on mining BTC but why not buy a USB stick miner Compact F or 2pac for your project?

I like to see how connections are made to a pool and get header info in btc version 25, how merkle root replaced and calculated after 4GH nonce reached or how extranonce come to sense and also middle state involved in live action. those boards use bitmain asics and I'm not sure something like midstate could be included in asics, or a way to manipulate sha256 calculations in asics.

You should check out the nerdminer source; https://github.com/BitMaker-hub/NerdMiner_v2

I dont think CPU/GPU mining is profitable especially for bitcoin/litecoin.
I've tried it with i5 gen 12400f and Nvidia GTX 1630 and you got less than 0.5$ per day

No.
