In this week I was given reading permission to the firmware of the board. Starting to look into the project, I get a better picture of what it is all about. My first task is to get the mechanism of Spartan-6 FPGA programming work. This involves a few steps. First, Read more…
In this week, I was given time to learn Git to prepare myself for the later participation into the grand project without messing it up. In short, Git is a decentralized version control system that conserve different version of our work in series of so called “commit”, a record Read more…
Well, this week would not be a very vuetiful chapter, as I’m starting to work on the programming of firmware into the board. Just to recap, the procedure of downloading the firmware into the board is done through a sequence of HTTP requests, mainly revolving around DELETE, PUT requests and Read more…
It is time to move onto the next phase of the project. An important part of the project is the registering of the boards with the application. Basically, a JSON payload would be sent to the server, which contains crucial details such as its serial number, model name, RSA public key, MAC address and more. It is encrypted using the RSA public key of the server. The payload would reach a specific REST API endpoint, that merely does the job of decrypting the payload using the server’s RSA private key, parsing and extracting the data, then subsequently save it to the database.
