The task of this week was completely different. We were asked to do some engineering design work .The client company wants to build a device that has the following: CPU + RAM SD card Wifi/GSM Camera Battery So our task was to pick up the suitable components based on the requirements Read more
Doing an internship at a small company is significantly different that doing it at a multinational firm! This is my seventh week here at AESTE and I can honestly say that the experience you will find here is like no other. Let me rewind back to the start of this Read more
The project becomes closer to completion with the top level creator being as done as possible. In this post I’ll start by explaining the top level creator and it’s awkward status of being “as done as possible”. Next, I’ll try to make the big picture of our project clearer by Read more
My journey with C++ continues with three engines up and running. The bitgenerator, the software encoding bitstreams to suit our system. The software loader which runs data2mem to load the elf file into the RAM blocks on the bitstream. Last but nor least the synthesizer which runs Xilinx command line Read more
In preparation for the development of our new products in 2013, we have ordered a couple of FPGA based development boards to aid in our work. Both of these turned out to be Digilent boards – Atlys and Zedboard. The Atlys will serve as our general purpose development board as Read more
Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a type of hardware/logic programmable integrated circuit. It’s flexibility, speed and the increasing number of IP cores make it into a popular solution in embedded system. The selection of the FPGA core is important when designing a FPGA system. FPGA vendors divide their products Read more
