Invitation Game ? no please !

This week I had to get ahead with the pure python decoder implementation. I surely went ahead but it was more like a step ahead, two steps back , recursion more or less.

I had to tread through the never-ending RISC-V ISA specification manual to understand each instructions encoding and write tests to make sure my decoder is working as it should - correctly! .

Murphy said it righteously, if there were x mistakes one can make , I made them all implementing the decoder.

But nonetheless a very basic version of the decoder is ready , I have to still polish it and rigorously test it for correctness. I expect to do that by tomorrow.

So see you next week. Decoding isn't very inviting a game though folks :P .

Best,
MS.
