Hi all,
Since I'm messing around with ancient parts (epf10k10/epm7xxx) resources are at a premium. I've managed to shave off quite a few LE's by switching to lpm functions so now it's down to optimizing code to make as efficient use as possible of the CLB's. So, with that said.... State machines seem to favor one-hot encoding, which is all nice and well but that means that anything over 8-states or so begins to hurt. badly. So while I've tried to break down my FSM's to less than 8 states, I'd love to see alternatives.
Thoughts?
