Chronicles from our peeps.
Since the basic function for HAL is able to run without serious problem. I have to put HAL on hold and start to do net layer for AVR32. However, I will come back to HAL when bugs ‘fly’ out or when the time I want to increase the performance of Read more
Last weekend, I was dealing with the graphic LCD on EVK1105. I am happy to deal with output device. It is because they can interact with users and programmers. They can use for debugging, showing error and feedback. Another reason is the output devices are easier to debug when you Read more
These two weeks, my task is writing a Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) for AVR32. So I need to work on AVR32 along with AVR32 studio and development board. The AVR32 is 32-bit micro-controller family developed by Atmel. Atmel provides most of the drivers for the on-chip peripherals and on-board components Read more
FreeRTOS is a type of real-time operating system. It is similar to all RTOS, having a serious problem with inter-task communication and resource sharing. In RTOS, inter-task communication is not like passing variables between normal functions. Normal functions can pass the data to a global variable or pass it to Read more
During the last week, I worked on developing an assembler for ASH1! I have always wondered about the assemblers & compilers design… with AESTE, I had the chance to explore this field. ASH1 assembler is developed using MATLAB. It takes an assembly language source file (text file) and translates it Read more
One week has passed since I started my career in AESTE. The only thing I can do was learning. There are so many things I need to learn before I can start my task. The list below is what I have learned in last week. Git + Github Git is Read more
In AESTE, every task is done in Linux. I am not a Linux user before and to get my job run smoothly, I need to learn it as soon as possible. It is very different to work under Linux platform compared to Microsoft Windows, especially in the ways to install Read more
I am a fresh graduate with Bachelor of Electronics Engineering from Multimedia University Cyberjaya. I found my passion in electronics hardware and programming when I was in secondary school. During that period, my teacher taught me to write a simple program – sending data from PC, and receiving it with Read more
After integrating Ethernet operations into ASH1.. I though of demonstrating ASH1 as an IOP .. so I looked for a simple I/O operation, yet a simple one to make my life easy when I am writing the code for it in binary. I decided to make ASH1 works as an Read more
Cyclic Redundancy Checksums generation and checking were among the challenging things in implementing ASH1. Looking for the accurate way to calculate/check CRCs took me a lot of time as it was confusing in terms of the following: Bit Orientations (LSB first or MSB first). The Initial Value of the CRC Read more
