Introduction - If you have any usage issues, please Google them yourself
This project features a full-hardware sound compressor using the well known algorithm: IMA ADPCM.
The core acts as a slave WISHBONE device.
The output is perfectly compatible with any sound player with the IMA ADPCM codec (included by default in every Windows). Includes a testbench that takes an uncompressed PCM 16 bits Mono WAV file and outputs an IMA ADPCM compressed WAV file.
Compression ratio is fixed for IMA-ADPCM, being 4:1.
