// Project:     Zip CPU -- a small, lightweight, RISC CPU soft core

//

// Purpose:     This is the top level module holding the core of the Zip CPU

//              together.  The Zip CPU is designed to be as simple as possible.

//      (actual implementation aside ...)  The instruction set is about as

//      RISC as you can get, there are only 16 instruction types supported.

//      Please see the accompanying spec.pdf file for a description of these

//      instructions.

//

//      All instructions are 32-bits wide.  All bus accesses, both address and

//      data, are 32-bits over a wishbone bus.

//

//      The Zip CPU is fully pipelined with the following pipeline stages:

//

//              1. Prefetch, returns the instruction from memory. 

//

//              2. Instruction Decode

//

//              3. Read Operands

//

//              4. Apply Instruction

//

//              4. Write-back Results

//

//      Further information about the inner workings of this CPU may be

//      found in the spec.pdf file.  (The documentation within this file

//      had become out of date and out of sync with the spec.pdf, so look

//      to the spec.pdf for accurate and up to date information.)

//

//

//      In general, the pipelining is controlled by three pieces of logic

//      per stage: _ce, _stall, and _valid.  _valid means that the stage

//      holds a valid instruction.  _ce means that the instruction from the

//      previous stage is to move into this one, and _stall means that the

//      instruction from the previous stage may not move into this one.

//      The difference between these control signals allows individual stages

//      to propagate instructions independently.  In general, the logic works

//      as:

//

//

//      assign  (n)_ce = (n-1)_valid && (~(n)_stall)

//

//

//      always @(posedge i_clk)

//              if ((i_rst)||(clear_pipeline))

//                      (n)_valid = 0

//              else if (n)_ce

//                      (n)_valid = 1

//              else if (n+1)_ce

//                      (n)_valid = 0

//

//      assign (n)_stall = (  (n-1)_valid && ( pipeline hazard detection )  )

//                      || (  (n)_valid && (n+1)_stall );

//

//      and ...

//

//      always @(posedge i_clk)

//              if (n)_ce

//                      (n)_variable = ... whatever logic for this stage

//

//      Note that a stage can stall even if no instruction is loaded into

//      it.

// We can either pipeline our fetches, or issue one fetch at a time.  Pipelined

// fetches are more complicated and therefore use more FPGA resources, while

// single fetches will cause the CPU to stall for about 5 stalls each 

// instruction cycle, effectively reducing the instruction count per clock to

// about 0.2.  However, the area cost may be worth it.  Consider:
