Remove redundant timer state. This fixes a bug where the timer misses a
clock cycle every time the prescaler counter reaches 1. This means if
one uses a large prescaler, like 18E6, it is barely noticeable, but if
one have a low prescaler and a high timer value it becomes significant.
This also yields the running_* registers redundant, which are removed.
Add clarity to the readme.
Update the timer to default to values of one, for prescaler and timer
count.
This removes the possibility to configure the bit rate, data bits and
stop bits at runtime from the API. This reduces the
usage of LCs with ~4%.
It is still possible to configure the core before building.
Update digest of application_fpga.bin.sha256
- The API changes name from `_SWITCH_APP` to `_SYSTEM_MODE_CTRL`.
- The registers and wires changes name to `system_mode_*`, instead of a
mix of `switch_app_*` and `fw_app_mode`.
* -abc2, run two passes of 'abc' for slightly improved logic density
* -device u, optimize timing for up5k device
* -dff, run 'abc'/'abc9' with -dff (D flip flop) option
Update digest of application_fpga.bin
Move the logic implementing the RAM address and data
scrambling, descrambling into the RAM module. This cleans up
the top level, and makes it easier to change the scrambling
without chaning the top. In order to do correct scrambling the
address to the RAM core must be 16 bits, not 15.
Clean up some minor details at the top level, fixing text
aligment and grouping of ports in instances.

Add API address to trigger system reset.
When written to will send system_reset signal
to the reset generator, which then perform a complete
reset cycle of the FPGA system.

The RAM address and data scrambling API was called twice, once before filling
RAM with random values, and once after. Since moving to a significantly
better PRNG (xorwow) this is now deemed unnecessary. See issue #225.
This changes both FPGA and firmware hashes.
Modify the loop to zeroise the FW-RAM instead of the
RAM. RAM is filled with random data at the start of main().
Changes firmware and bitstream digests.

xorwow provides significantly better random data, compared to previously
used function. Making it harder to predict what data RAM is filled with.
It adds a startup time of approx 80 ms, but can be compensated with
optimising other parts of the startup routine.
This changes both firmware and fpga hashes.
