TODO

Describe and show example of my super awesome Verilog technique: "Finite State Machines using two always block coding style w/state registered outputs" which originates from:

The published papers of: C. Cummings
The teachings and wisdom of my UCSC Logic Design Professors: Pak K. Chan and Martine D. F. Schlag
And my own experience in developing for FPGAs in embedded systems

Show some code examples
