This should be interesting. Probably far too complicated for me to understand, but will still take a look. Surprised to see VHDL instead of Verilog, but not complaining at all.

edit: Just took a look. Code is nice and clean but complicated was an understatement.

Yeah, IBM has been all in on VHDL for decades.

And complexity-wise it's a lot better than quite a few HDL codebases I've seen, just very modular, and probably missing some high level design docs to ease getting your feet wet.
