Minor Modifications

The week was spent trying to look for ways to optimize the file upload time to suit the required objective having made some strides on that path during the previous week. Apart from that, a few modifications were made to the MBR editing function. MBR Partition informations It is important Read more…

Full speed SD card reading

The week was spent in continuing the ground work done on the Synchronous USART to optimize the Reading process which will subsequently program the FPGA. After solving the problem faced in the week before, time was spent in trying to get the SD card to read the bitstream data as Read more…

Continuing Optimization

The optimization of the firmware continued with the focus being on the SD card reading stack. A look into the USART’s synchronous mode functionality was also taken to try and understand how that works. There was also a lot of time spent trying to set up scenarios to break the Read more…

And the optimization begins!

Following the completion of the Ping-Pong Upload mechanism, its time to step forward to system optimization for the PIC firmware. This includes many separate portions looked into during the week to try to enhance the system performance and deliverable. The tasks include: i)optimization of the read/write functions ii) clearing up Read more…
