We have been running a thin-client setup in the office for a number of years now as we’ve found them to be easier to maintain, and it allowed everyone to login on any PC and access their work. Our thin-clients were all desktop PC-based machines with Gigabit Ethernet and no Read more…
Hello everyone, my name is Ayman and I am doing my Final Year Project under the supervision of Dr. Shawn Tan. In my first blog post I will describe my project, what I have been doing in the past weeks, and what I will do next. The first paragraph is Read more…
This week I managed to finished my raspberry pi’s remoteproc driver. At first I thought my custom gpio bus was flawless, but after linking it with the remoteproc driver, and some harsh testings, it turned out to be buggy. Data sent by the remote processor (another Raspberry pi running a Read more…
During my 10th week at Aeste, I continued my unfinished business from the 9th week: bit banging the gpio to implement a custom 8 bits wide bus. I spent most of my time this week debugging the gpio driver for the custom bus. My code was ready at the beginning Read more…
This week has been the shortest one since I started my internship at Aeste because we were having holidays for the Raya Aidilfitri. During the 3 working days of the week, I worked on the GPIO driver to let two raspberry pi communicate with each other. After some discussions with Read more…
This week, the nature of my main task changed a little. From developing the remoteproc driver for X86 architecture I’m now required to do it for the raspberry pi which uses an ARM processor. This is because the main product of our company is not completely ready, and my supervisor Read more…
Last time, we faced the challenge of designing the circuit and hardware interfaces of our Spartan-6/PIC18 board. This week, we return for more work on the schematics and shift focus to a different aspect of our project: writing the firmware for the PIC18. My colleague, Jia Xien, has been busy Read more…
