Initial work on rom_sd
This module needs way reworked to just be a state machine. I was trying
to get way too tricky with it so I went back to the drawing board and
made a state machine diagram for it. The diagram is included with this
commit. I also moved the current collection of documentation to a doc/
folder, and added a second-long audio rom to test everything out once
the rom_sd is working.

Planned Modules

  • SD Card Reader

  • VGA Controller

    • Not sure if the framebuffer is here or in RAM?
    • Each pixel is 12-bits
    • Probably fit into 16-bit words in RAM?
    • Plan on 640x480
    • Should we do double buffering?
  • Audio Controller

    • Again, not sure how the buffer will work. Might just take in 1KiB as a verilog array?
  • Control logic

    • Play
    • Pause
    • Volume up/down
    • Fast forward
      • Maybe start at 2x, then go to 4x then 8x with more presses?
    • Rewind, maybe, it's real hard though
  • DRAM/SRAM controller

    • We might need this for buffering frames? Not sure if we implicitly can use SRAM with verilog arrays
    • The SRAM interface is easier but slower
    • Hopefully we don't need this but who knows
  • 8 segment display driver

    • Takes in a play time in seconds and displays it in hour:minute:second
    • Maybe could take in seconds, minutes, and hours separately?
      • This would save us from having to do modulo
      • It'd be easy to check if seconds == 60 and then increment minutes
