An overview of each assignment follows.Assignment 1—Introduction to HDL and Utilities As an introductive exercise, students implement basic components using differentdesigning schemes. Knowing how to effectively navigate through these design schemes assistthem in future homework. The following strategies are given to the students:Implement a half adder using dataflow modeling: • Outputs: S-Sum, C-Carry • Inputs: X-Bit 1, Y-Bit-2Use hierarchal and gate-level modeling to implement a full adder: • Outputs: S-Sum, C-Carry • Inputs: X-Bit1, Y-Bit-2, Z-Carry InCreate a

This idea has first been developed by Charles S.
