GENERAL RULES

• external signals: use UPPERCASE
• internal signals: user lowercase

State machine

• Combinatorial block: lines up the next state
  • Write simple statements outside of the combinatorial block
  • Write complicated related switch statements inside a combinatorial block (like switch-case statements)
    • Make sure to do your instruction decoding inside a combinatorial block
• Register block: registers next state from combinatorial block
