PIC32 TCP Performance & The End

I spent this week measuring the TCP performance of the CORS program. We wanted to know how fast can the board actually perform from a network perspective. I collected data on multiple parameters that I’ve determined to have a considerable impact on speed. I was appalled to find out that Read more

After much reading and some calculations, I learnt that theoretically the ideal bits of the LFSR counter in my design should result in the range of 300 µs to 5 ms debounce time. The width had to be quite large since the FPGA board clock speed was 100 MHz. For Read more
