1. Soft Core
2. The purpose of this lab is become familiar with the Pico Blaze
application and how the process works to apply assembly code to achieve
goals like shifting to the right, mask, and counting the number of the
LEDs. The PicoBlaze and KCPSM6 were used to achieve all tasks as well
as the new KCPSM6 directives used in assembly.

Discussion
The lab was initally challenging as it was a fairly complex process
to get the KSPSM6 Architecture up and running. Once it was etablished
the directives were simple and easy to use and short but allowed for
relativly complex tasks to be carried out on the BASYS 3 module.
Overall the lab was benefital as this is all new communication through
the FPGA.
