The task in this project is to implement a 5-stage pipelined processor for

This project framework is used for the all of the milestones in the processor

In this project you will build a 5-stage RISCV32I processor that is able to run
real RISC-V programs as long as they only use the 32I instruction subset.
Since this is your first time building a processor, starting with a 5-stage design
presents a very difficult challenge, which is why this exercise is split into two
parts. In the first part the instructions will be interspersed with NOP instructions,
presents a very difficult challenge, which is why this project is split into four
parts. In the first two parts the instructions will be interspersed with NOP instructions,
four NOPs for every real. This means that you do not need to take into account
dependencies and so forth, making things a lot easier for you.
For the second exercise the only difference is that NOP instructions will not be
For the last two parts the only difference is that NOP instructions will not be
inserted. You can read about this in the [[exercise2.org][ex2 guide]], and will not be discussed
further here.

When you are done, use the provided ./deliver.sh script to pack up the archive.
If you're unable to run bash scripts then please ensure that you deliver a *zip* archive.
Not .rar or anything else, just use zip because my grading script knows how to handle that

This archive should be runnable as is, thus you need to include all the necessary files.

This is the instruction fetch stage.
In this stage instruction fetching should happen, meaning you will have to
add logic for handling branches, jumps, and for exercise 2, stalls.
add logic for handling branches, jumps, and eventually, stalls.
The reason this module is already included is that it contains the instruction
memory, described next which is heavily coupled to the testing harness.
