Tasks

Copy and paste a definition of disp(hex, line) from previous lab, then run source code. You should see drawen 44 in the terminal, just like below.

Module uses only 2 displays, extend the module to use 6 displays. Then change code in HexDisp_test(dut) to use 6 displays and set todays date in registers. Remember to add platform.request for rest of the displays and edit penultimate line of code.
