74x382 ALU (8-bit)

Create an 8-bit version of the 74x382 ALU

The bit-file with my solution can be downloaded here for test - for the BASYS-kit use: Input_unit_BASYS.bit
for the NEXYS-kit use: Input_unit_NEXYS.bit
The user constrain file for BASYS and NEXYS (use comment/uncomment): BASYS_NEXYS_ucf.VHD - Save as UCF help here.

This code makes it easy to verify the functionality of the ALU -- "How to use" -- Download the .bit file to your kit and try:

1) If the leftmost Dp and Dig1:0 (the rightmost) flashes
     does it mean that you can define A(7:0) with the Sw(7:0)
     Press <Btn1> in order to update => A = Dig1:0 = Dig3:2

2) Press <Btn0> in order to change input "Valg"

3) If the next leftmost Dp and Dig1:0 (the rightmost) flashes
     does it mean that you can define B(7:0) with the Sw(7:0)
     Press <Btn1> in order to update => B = Dig1:0 = Dig3:2

4) Press <Btn0> again in order to change "Valg" for arithmetic

5) When Dig3 flashes for arithmetic mode.
      Use <Btn3> and <Btn2> to select S = 0..7
      Use <Btn1> to toggle the Cin (watch Dp0)

6) Press <Btn0> to start the process of watch/change A,B

Function table for the ALU_DESIGN
S2 S1 S0	Function	Cout
0 0 0	F = 0000	0
0 0 1	F = B - A - 1 + Cin	F(8)
0 1 0	F = A - B - 1 + Cin	F(8)
0 1 1	F = A + B + Cin	F(8)
1 0 0	F = A xor B	not Cin
1 0 1	F = A or B	Cin
1 1 0	F = A and B	Cin
1 1 1	F = 1111	1

The purpose of this function will be the switch among the various data for display. Please note how "Valg" used. The Clk_1Hz can be used for the Flashing effect. This signal will be 0 for say 500 msec and 1 for 500 msec. The Blanking bits do the trick.
The basic idea in this process is the implementation of a debouche functionality and the ability of edge-detection of more the on input. This makes it possible to increment, decrement and load values at the same variables/signals.
