I2C Master Implementation in Verilog - Part 1

From today, I will post on my progress on writing an I2C Master implementation in Verilog on my Xilinx Spartan 3E FPGA board.
I will be using the I2C master to read time and date data from a Maxim DS1337 Real Time Clock.

I have used this particular RTC before for my senior design project, but I had simply used a preexisting library on an Arduino with the I2C implementations specific to the RTC.

Here is a list of references I have found that may be useful:

• http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/acatalog/I2C_Tutorial.html
• http://www.best-microcontroller-projects.com/i2c-tutorial.html
• http://datasheets.maxim-ic.com/en/ds/DS1337-DS1337C.pdf
  

Whats next?...

• Draw a flow chart mapping the design
• Re-familiarize myself in the Xilinx ISE Suite
