Quickstart guide

1. Clone the repository
2. Open Vivado
3. Create a new project with the board "XC7A100TCSG324-1"
4. Add the modules, add sources -> add or create design sources -> add Directories select the Module Sources from the version you want to use then finish
5. Add the test bench, add sources -> add or create simulation sources -> add Directories select the Simulation Sources from the same version you used before, then finish
6. Add the Hex BenchMark, add sources -> add or create design sources -> add Filesselect the file .mem from the same version you used before, then finish
7. Now you are ready to Run Simulation or Synthesis
