ASM to code

[prasunp]

Hello:

Does anyone know of any good examples showing the design flow from
algorithm to ASM to coding of control and datapath?

Thanks

An ASM is a waning textbook alternative to simulation.
I just write IF / CASE statements
and run a sim to see if it works as I expect.

So how do you know where to get divide datapath and control and clock
cycles. Do you use any other methods?

I don't bother dividing them.
I like big synchronous blocks.
However, if you want a good grade,
you'd best do whatever the professor says.
