This week I fix my ADC driver, which I done it incorrectly previously. PIC32MZ come with 2 different Family namely the ‘EC’ family and ‘EF ‘ family. The main difference for both of them would be ‘EC’ only capable of 10bit ADC conversion while ‘EF’ can up to 12bit ADC. For my Read more…
This week continues with the issue that I had opened previously, which is on the issue that some file is not updated before the synthesis starts. This was a mistake made by the previous intern, that the ramSize (BRAM size) that is needed for synthesis is never been specified correctly Read more…
I finally got an improved version of code completion working. I am glad that there is a working example, which i referred my work on. It was a frustrating process because there is no explanation on what is actually going on. I spent a great deal of time understanding the Read more…
This week I continue doing emulating ADC based on the proper protocol of SPI ADC from Microchip – MCP3204/3208 From the document table 5-1: state that to initiate a ADC read for specific channel, Master SPI will first send 4bit of ‘Control Bit Selection’ to read the data of the particular Read more…
This week the task is very time consuming, because I spent most of the time debugging and reading the logs in the terminal. As I got to know from my colleague Jeunn Hao, that the simulation still does not work 100% of the time. I decided to read the code Read more…
So… I had a stressful time finding a serious bug in my Wt application. Luckily, I was able to narrow the cause down. The crash happened whenever a new user approved the storage service for the first time. And damn it, it was caused by not deferRendering the WApplication after Read more…
This week, I have been working mainly on the simulator. Things just don’t work when they are combined 😂 😂 , especially when it is a combination of 3 persons code. It is a critical issue that the simulator is not working. Mainly because I did not understand what had been done by Read more…
This week I did some programming on PIC32 ADC and SPI functions. The goal is to transfer ADC value from PIC through SPI to a FPGA chip. FPGA chip will act as a ‘Master’ while PIC32 will be the ‘Slave’. I will be coding for PIC32 only therefore the following Read more…
Work progress has been slow this week as I spent my time learning about the code completion feature in the code editor. The previous intern has done some work on it with basic functions. However, there is much to be done until it becomes fully operable and up to my Read more…
This week, my task is to create a cache system for the FPGA synthesis and implementation process, and to kill the previous synthesis process. The cache system would be useful if someone replicates or reuse their design. This saves the processing power and time, where the synthesized file would be Read more…
