LTSP on Raspberry Pi 3B+

We have been running a thin-client setup in the office for a number of years now as we’ve found them to be easier to maintain, and it allowed everyone to login on any PC and access their work. Our thin-clients were all desktop PC-based machines with Gigabit Ethernet and no Read more…

Productive Week

This week’s work was very productive in the way that I was able to complete the design flow from synthesis to bitstream generation (excluding bram content replacement) for all 6 fpga types: Xilinx 7 series, Cyclone V, Cyclone IV, Lattice ECP5, Lattice ICE40, and Spartan 6 (which implements the ISE Read more…

Good Progress

At the end of this week, I was able to speak with my supervisor to discuss my progress, mistakes, and next steps. During this discussion, we talked about the importance of representing a product in an understandable and simple manner in engineering, and I thought this was noteworthy. As this Read more…
