In this episode of the RISC-V quest, we're implementing the mechanics of trap handling, taking one particularly easy to spot exception as the focus point: Load Address Misaligned.
The design involves building a new module, as well as a new super-state of the CPU, which controls when the processor is executing the pipeline, and when it is handling the mechanics of traps.

This mini series is all about binary. Over the course of the series, well be building a library that gives us precise control of every bit and operation.
Youll learn how the logical and arithmetic operations work, how different kinds of numbers are encoded, how to set, clear and toggle bits, and how we can create representations of structured binary data.
1. Bits
2. Operations
3. Unsigned Numbers
4. Addition
5. Zero Extension
6. Twos complement
7. Overflow Addition and Sign Extension
8. Shifting
9. Setting, Clearing, and Toggling Bits
10. Endianness
11. Structures
