Chronicles from our peeps.
We are still working on fixing the code bugs, improving the application usability, and optimizing the code. There are a lot of small changes and enhancement that I’ve been working on, here, however I will detail the most important ones, that someone might actually find useful. So, let’s jump right Read more
This week I have tested all the plugin callbacks available in GCC The plugins list are defined by plugin.def in GCC. The plugin is initiated by plugin_init function, then the plugin is called through register_callback function. For each plugin, a register_callback is required, then the plugin function will be called and Read more
This week I continue on the working of SPI. The main problem is the writing through the page border of EEPROM. To write across the page, it is required to resend the write command and assigned new address. Firstly, I wrote a code that will keep refresh the address inside Read more
This week I am working on dummy contiki OS to be compile using RISC V compiler. During compilation, there are a lot errors prone. Most of the errors happened during typo occur in the code, such as #if but without #endif, without semicolon in the ending code and so on. Besides that, Read more
Bugs, bugs, and more bugs! I think that summarizes the past week! We haven’t introduced much features to the project, but rather we spent the week improving the code, and solving the problems that arise. I basically worked on creating the components for the schematic editor, moving the schematic files Read more
This week was relatively short, as the end of the week was the Eid Fitri holiday yet the week was so jammed with so many things needed to be accomplished. Like the past week the tasks were kind of unrelated to each other but eventually all of them are related Read more
This week, I focused with the structuring of my previous coding. As being told by my supervisor, the way I programmed was not well planned yet. The main problem that causes these, is the bad habit of hard coding. I tend to hard-coded many things that I am uncertain with. And Read more
This week I’m going to write about compiler, which compiles our programming code into an executable file. I believe most people have used an IDE ( Integrated Development Environment) before to compile and run their codes before, especially in the early stages of learning how to program. No doubt an Read more
This week I worked on the UART communication. My task is to transmit and receive the bytes of data via the RS232 port of the PICDEM.net 2. Dr. Shawn gave me a brief on the process and introduced the minicom program to me, in order for me to verify whether Read more
For the most part of this week, I was working on the project user interface. As we are preparing for an early release, we need to optimize the code, fix the bugs, and do some code cleanup. I started this week by creating the SVG graphics for the board. After Read more
