   1 """Simple example of a FSM-based ALU
   2
   3 This demonstrates a design that follows the valid/ready protocol of the
   4 ALU, but with a FSM implementation, instead of a pipeline.  It is also
   5 intended to comply with both the CompALU API and the nmutil Pipeline API
   6 (Liskov Substitution Principle)
   7
   8 The basic rules are:
   9
  10 1) p.ready_o is asserted on the initial ("Idle") state, otherwise it keeps low.
  11 2) n.valid_o is asserted on the final ("Done") state, otherwise it keeps low.
  12 3) The FSM stays in the Idle state while p.valid_i is low, otherwise
  13    it accepts the input data and moves on.
  14 4) The FSM stays in the Done state while n.ready_i is low, otherwise
  15    it releases the output data and goes back to the Idle state.
