I generally receive a stunned look when I tell people that we build everything with C++ where possible, including web applications. It happened again recently and they will usually ask me – Why?!!! I’d like to document some reasons why we chose to use C++ to build web applications here. Read more…
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 was really different!! Usually at the beginning of each week we used to be aware of the specific task that we have to achieve but in this week, things were different!! Issues were being opened on daily basis and as soon as you close one you get three Read more…
Great! My blog is in its third decade now. Happily declaring that the project is getting close to the end. This week the final main functionality has been added to it. The project now has the ability to compile the user C++ code, synthesize the top module and finally Read more…
Debugger After trying on the break point implementation last week, I decided to work on interface with Sumia and Islam’s code. As pre-discussed with my supervisor, the simulator should be the back-end engine and should not have any visible interface in the Web Application. In order to ensure things going Read more…
Sadly I’ve just realized that my internship is getting closer to the end. Cannot really describe how I feel… Just mixed feelings. But what I really know is that this period has really enriched my life in all aspects. lol, Stop being so dramatic and get back to the work Read more…
Well this week the progress was relatively slow, and the output could really approach to zero, although the task at first glance seemed quite easy and that it could be done within one day only 😛 . Picking up from where we left off last week, the total project integration Read more…
While building our C++ application, I got interested in looking at C++ name mangling conventions used in GCC and learned quite a few things. I have always known about name mangling as a mechanism for determining C++ functions, classes and name spaces. But I have not studied the details of it. Turns out that there is a lot of documentation on it.

For a short period of time I’ll be writing a couple of C++ programs to do some tasks in our project. The first of them is what took my time this week and it’s more or less playing around with a bit stream. In this post I’ll explain what are Read more…
My task for the week was to write a GPIO driver that is compatible to Arduino using C++ language. Although I have learnt the basics ways of coding in C++, I was asked to go through a C++ tutorial again, which indeed helped me quite a lot when writing the Read more…
