Chronicles from our peeps.
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
This week I do some final touch to the PCB board design. (Spartan6 TQFP, PIC32, HC-05). And then I get my hands on to some programming. My goal is to make a Php server that is able to be ping from my Wt::Client(Ajax) that I previously done. The idea is the Read more
This has been a cool week, not the weather though, because I managed to solve problems instead of creating more. Thanks to Dr. Shawn’s suggestion, I’ve started using valgrind to test my code. It turns out to be such a gem. Not having the proper fundamentals, I didn’t know such Read more
This week I finish drawing my PCB design for a new board using Spartan 6 TQFP packaging and PIC32MZ. Also added a bluetooth module (HC-05) onto the new board. In comparison most of the component’s footprint for this new board is exactly the same with the previous board, only this time Read more
Continued from last week, I finally manage to automate the bitstream generation. Good news that I have also fixed the problem that causes the hanging of the web application. The hanging is mainly caused by the usage of Wt::WApplication::instance()->deferRendering, because freezes the user interface. The doJavaScript() Problem What surprised me this Read more
I have been removing a lot of old JSON stuff which is now replaced with Wt::Dbo. So far, using Wt::Dbo has offered so much of convenience when adding, modifying or querying database objects, as long as you create the Wt::Dbo::Session using your database file. insertWidget at specified positions So I Read more
Up till now, I’ve spent months of quality time with Wt and gotten quite familiar with it. It has taken care a lot of dirty things for me in the background and at the same time, taught me a lot more about programming in C++. Compromises The application I’m working Read more
The task continues with more challenges, where I start to monitor the synthesis flow that had been set previously, starting from the generation of the HDL file to the generation of the bitstream. Apparently, I found that most of the process are messed up, where the synthesis actually takes place before Read more
This week I finish up my schematic for a new board. This new board is similar to the previous PCB board that I design, only that this board uses Spartan6 TQFP packaging. Most of the component will remain only some minor changes on the capacitor decoupling. To know the required/necessary Read more
Working on Wt::Auth and Wt::Dbo library for the past few weeks have given me another glimpse into a few of the many functionalities built into Wt. This time it wasn’t as simple as just using the member functions that were provided. The problem with using a library in general is Read more
