it is not in the least bit necessary to "understand" the spec.  i do not.

what *is* necessary is to understand how to translate microwatt VHDL
source code into nmigen.

and to TRUST that microwatt is correct.

this is why i have put in code-snippets from microwatt into the bugreport.

this turns an exercise that would take months if not years by a factor
of approximately TEN.

quotes understanding quotes comes later.
