Hi, there.

I synthesized again the bflike.
Now, it is was to Spartan-6 xc6slx45, same device of pico e101.
I got the following results (This time I could generate a report with more
details).

I could generate a schematic view as well (available on http://bit.ly/koMcxo),
but is very big and dificult to track. I don't know if it will help.

I replaced pcadd() for simpler "a ^ b ^ mask" and it really reduced the LUT
count.
However, I didn't figure out how to improve the pcadd() to do the right
thing using less LUTs.
All my attempts got wrong results in simulation.

Moreover, I am sending the verilog code again because the last one attached
has an error.

Regards,

Yuri.
