Third Week Updates

For the third week, I start with familiarizing myself with carrying out create, read, update and delete operations on the CouchDB database. This involves sending HTTP requests using the Poco library. I learnt to use the “If-Match” header to retrieve a document’s revision so that I can perform update operations Read more

Picking up the Pace

Approaching the end of this fourth week I can say that the time for relaxation and learning is long gone and that for doing and developing is nigh. This week was by far the most productive I have had since the start of my internship mainly because I managed to Read more

Continuing with Poco

During the second week, I worked on my assigned project and also received kind guidance from Dr Shawn whenever I’m stuck. My project involves processing final scores of participants in a competition. This calls for pulling data from a CouchDB database after all the marks by judges are dialed in, Read more

Warming Up

For my second week of internship I started off by completing the design of the PouchDB Database Schema and finalizing its documentation. With some supervision and minor tweaks, I was able to finish up this task at the start of the week. My internship project for these upcoming several weeks Read more

Touching Ground Running

My name is Uzair and I am a third year Electrical and Electronics Engineering student. Today marks the 6th official day since I began my internship at Aeste. Coming from an engineering background, I was given study material that took about 6 weeks to complete prior to the commencement of Read more

Approaching the Finish Line

I am getting close to finishing my part of the project, and only have a week and a half left for this internship period. This week, I have completed integrating the K3rangka with S3padu from the synthesis to bit generation to bram data replacement, writing a function similar to icebram Read more

Productive Week

This week’s work was very productive in the way that I was able to complete the design flow from synthesis to bitstream generation (excluding bram content replacement) for all 6 fpga types: Xilinx 7 series, Cyclone V, Cyclone IV, Lattice ECP5, Lattice ICE40, and Spartan 6 (which implements the ISE Read more

Good Progress

At the end of this week, I was able to speak with my supervisor to discuss my progress, mistakes, and next steps. During this discussion, we talked about the importance of representing a product in an understandable and simple manner in engineering, and I thought this was noteworthy. As this Read more
