The End of A Journey Does Not Matter, It Is the Journey That Matters, In the End
I started off this week by briefing a new intern that will be taking over my project as this is my last week of internship. I organized so that I can explain everything on the project by going through one by one from the basics to the complicated process of Read more
Learning from mistakes
I made a mistake when I was integrating the simulator’s functionalities into the other project. I got the wrong idea for testing the simulator but luckily Dr. Shawn corrected me and he taught me where to start with. After I have added some files and separated the back-end and front-end, Read more
Additional Functionalities of the API
This week I managed to finish off the REST API except for the REST client specific specifications which at that time was still undecided. Hence, I proceeded with adding the SMTP functionalities. It took me a while to decide on the best way to take into account the possibility of Read more

JSON Naming Convention
This week, I finished connecting each module to CPU via a customizable switch. I learned the importance of flexibility in design while I was designing the naming convention for different modules and their signal’s name. Other than creating a working design, I make sure the design is elegant and simple. Read more
Design’s Dependency
This week, I learned the importance of creating a program that is stable without relying on information from other files. This is important when it comes to designing a robust algorithm. Initially, I made a program to extract information from generated Verilog file, so that the naming of pins from Read more
When Good Enough Isn’t Good Enough

Short Week
After a long holiday I am back in the office. This week I only work for 2 days and I only made a little progress with the bug. Right now I still working with the View file and on Friday Dr.Shawn asked me to check 3 things after I told Read more
Testing the Simulator
This week, my first task is to check if the simulator simulates the c++ codes correctly. Hence, I referred to the console and looked for evidence to prove it. However, I could not find enough information about the instructions at each cycle in the console. I had to use objdump Read more
