Chronicles from our peeps.
After putting my current project on halt for a week time, finally I’m back to track to work on my T3ras project. This week I focus mainly on the execute stage in pipeline to execute and manipulate each of the MicroBlaze instruction sets into semantics operation written in Java. Since Read more…
The above blinking LEDs are not regular blinking LEDs. These LEDs are connected to the output of a GPIO. That GPIO is controlled by the AEMB2 microprocessor and the AEMB2 microprocessor is fetching it’s instructions from a 16K block RAM that has been loaded with data using the DATA2MEM software. Read more…
Finally! After another week I managed to force the module to work (correctly!). I had a really hard time debugging it, since you can’t simply expect to find a mistake by looking at seemingly random combinations of 163bits. I was forced to run again and again through the whole code Read more…
First Modification (29 June 2013) Three text files are created with size of 35 KB, 175KB and 350 KB. The files were created by simply duplicating the whole 35 KB text file five times and 10 times respectively. By using the Timer1 module created last week, the read time for Read more…
There goes another week. Task for this week is quite similar to last week’s, I was asked to write a MSPI driver. Before I started, I had no idea what it is and what does it do, so I was waiting for my supervisor to fill me up with all Read more…
Previously, the PIC18 was programmed to emulate 3 separate slave SPI devices – an ADC, a Flash memory and an Ethernet controller! The final task proved to be a notable challenge, and remained only partially implemented by the end of the week. This episode: there will be a double dosage Read more…
Week Four! How time flies, it’s been nearly a month since I first stepped into the office of Aeste. Continuing from our previous work of setting up a basic SPI bus between a Raspberry Pi (RPi) master and a PIC18 slave, we go on to write a function for the Read more…
Alright, I’m now on my 7th week at Aeste. Things been going pretty fast ey? Yeah it sure does! This week I managed to finish my dummy remoteproc driver. It was a big relieve for me because my stress level was going up rapidly when the driver didn’t work after Read more…
Frustrating… that basically sums up whole previous week. Having all minor modules ready I started building the main part which is shortly speaking quite elaborate state machine using those modules in correct order. This turned out to be quite arduous work itself as one needs to be very careful when Read more…
My task for last week was suppose to be continue on my undone pipeline implementation on Execute and also Memory Access stage . However, due to my weakness on writing codes, my supervisor advise me to re-practise on Java tutorial but this time another practice link is given (http://codingbat.com/java) . Read more…
