VHDL acceleration for Jypec (https://github.com/Daniel-BG/Jypec)

Implementation of the Block Coding found in JPEG2000 [1]. This aims to accelerate execution times of the Jypec algorithm, since profiling shows that block coding amounts to ~40-70% of the total execution time. FPGAs, and their ability to quickly process raw bit data, the core of the block coding, can accelerate this bottleneck.

Two additional external modules are required. The RX and TX modules of the UART protocol. They can be downloaded from the NandLand Website.
