+Here is an example code to utilize the carry/borrow signals of our add/subtract modules at ALU level. You may use this to create add-with-carry and subtract-with-borrow functions (hint: you need a selector signal to 'enable' the carry/borrow in signals {iC} and {iB}).

+==== Lab Project (202425s2) Requirements ====
+This is also shared in Google Doc format (link available in Google Classroom).
+<file text nmk206-202425s2_labproject.txt>
+-----------
+LAB PROJECT
+-----------
+You are required to implement a soft-processor core (HDL-based) with the
+following minimum requirements:
+  - 8-bit microprocessor (instruction size, register size, etc.)
+  - 8 general purpose registers
+  - 8 ALU functions
+  - basic instruction set
+    = move data between registers
+    = perform basic ALU operations
+    = load register with immediate value
+These requirements are necessary for submission and minimum grade B.
+More functionality means better grades:
+  - 16-bit/32-bit microprocessor
+  - carry circuit for adder (>8b)
+  - integer multiply/divide circuit (structural code - NOT behavior)
+  - bit-level manipulation (towards microcontroller)
+  - instruction fetch unit and memory interface
+Note#1: Auto-0 for downloaded codes!
+Note#2: This is a group assignment, but marks will be evaluated individually.
+Assessment deliverables:
+) Verilog source files in a single ZIP file
+- make sure only Verilog files are included in the file
+- make sure all modules have each a proper testbench
+- must be self-checking testbenches
+) Technical Document (Specifications)
+- not more than 10 pages, no cover page (only list of members' names)
+- content:
+  = short summary of features
+  = block diagram of design
+  = list of instructions (description and op-code)
+) An online demonstration / Q&A
+- not more than 20 minutes
+- content:
+  = short summary of what has been implemented
+  = if completed, demonstrate running the top-level testbench
+  = if NOT completed, demonstrate running component-level testbenches
+PROJECT DUE: Lab Session@W14/14 (Item 1&2). Item 3 TBD.
+Extra Info:
+- each student may email in a contribution percentage information:
+  = list all group members (specify project contribution percentage of each)
+  = percentage values should total up to 100% (may use fraction e.g. 1/3)
+Note: this is optional,but if a member decides to do this, please advise
+the others in group to do the same
