The first commit:
Second commit attempts to fit all logical operations into a single LUT4 array.
LUT4 has 4 inputs op1, op2 and func3[1:0] and can implement all logical operations with one to spare.
After running
make ICESTICK, I noticed a 15 LC reduction in logic utilization (~4%).My assumption is a LUT4 was used for logical operations instead of multiplexing 3 separate calculations.
I did not look into reports or the netlist to check for details.
I did run a regression test to see if I introduced any bugs, and it seems to work.
