Chronicles from our peeps.
Week3: PIC18 Schematic (cont’d) and Using a Raspberry Pi for SPI Testing
Last time, we faced the challenge of designing the circuit and hardware interfaces of our Spartan-6/PIC18 board. This week, we return for more work on the schematics and shift focus to a different aspect of our project: writing the firmware for the PIC18. My colleague, Jia Xien, has been busy Read more
Week 04 – Modifying the HTTP Source Code
It turns out that the TCP/IP MDD Demo given by Microchip is not that useful. It mainly redefined all the functions to open webpages stored in SD cards instead. They did not modify the part where the original used to upload a file.But a file named “FileSystem.c” is particularly useful Read more
Week 01: Introduction->Tutorials (Git, Git Flow, C)
That’s RIGHT! I am the daring kid who asked for a medical leave on my first day of work! As an advice to all other interns or future-interns, never do what I have done! Despite of all the terrible things happening on my first day, I did carry on my Read more
11- Initializing Block RAMs using DATA2MEM
I’m still working on how to initialize Block RAMs using DATA2MEM software. I have managed to produce a bit file with initialized RAMs. What’s left is to write a linker script to suit our addressing space, write a C file to blink the LEDs using GPIOs and finally get this Read more
Week 1000
“Welcome to Galois Field F(2m) where elements are made up and carry doesn’t matter” If this sounds familiar you should probably turn off TV sometimes (or youtube). Nothing much was happening this week, I mostly spent it struggling with understanding and at later stage designing the ECDSA module. Man, Read more
W04- (cont) Basic Pocessor Class
This week wasn’t very productive on the first few days as I can say. Has been working on source code that is to build a basic processor class in Java. Although the name of it is so called a BASIC processor class but unfortunately it isn’t 100% fall on the “basic” Read more
Week 5: Wrong path taken
My task for this week is to determine the interface of the remoteproc framework. As shameful as I could be, I still couldn’t figure out the interface and what is needed to make the framework runs. After some discussions with my supervisor, I was told that my work method was Read more
Week 03 – TCP/IP Stack, MMC Cards, TCP/IP MDD Demo & SD Card Not Detected by Computer
The PICDEM.NET 2 has a stand-alone Ethernet controller, ENC28J60 but the project is not going to use that stand-alone Ethernet controller. The project will use the Ethernet driver for the PIC18F97J60, which is the ETH97J60. It is interesting to note that the PICDEM.NET 2 has two Integrated Connector Modules (ICMs), Read more
