My work on the passive buzzer had entered its 4th week. I did not like that 4 weeks means a month. When days become weeks, and weeks become a month, you know your work performance is not doing good and you need to do something about it. I wish I Read more…
I thought taking few days off the week would leave me regretting for my work productivity as the time spent would not be enough. However, this week went alright. Well time is never enough of course, but this week was slightly better than some of the weeks before. I paused Read more…
Unfortunately, this week did not go the way I planned. I worked extra days to cover a few leaves I plan to take later, thus with more time spent on work for the week, I should be accomplishing more. However, this is one of the cliche time when quantity does Read more…
Using one word to describe this week’s progress, that would be the word SLOW. Or more accurate, SLOWEST! The week however, just passed so fast. I was disappointed when I realized it was already end of the week and I have achieved nothing. Nothing – Not a thing, design code Read more…
I started off this week by designing the code for a passive buzzer. It was quite a simple task as I only made a few changes compared to the previous design made, they only have outputs that needed to be sent without having to read the inputs. I ran my Read more…
I was having unfinished work from last week of not having the results I wanted from the test bench. The acknowledge signal of Wishbone does not behave as what was expected. I edited the design code but it still did not work correctly. I asked Dr. Shawn about this and Read more…
On Monday, I was almost done with the design code for my first module, a 7 colour auto flash LED. I chose this module to start with as it is quite simple to program (only outputs), in the hopes that I can finish it quick. However, what seem simplest is Read more…
This week had been exciting for me as now I have the Digilent Atlys Spartan 6 board to play with. Dr. Shawn taught me on USB over IP, to have the board connected to the server. Before doing anything, Dr. Shawn instructed me to go through the reference manual of Read more…
This week I started with having both SPI master and SPI slave verified for its functionality. Besides checking for the results of waveform graph manually, I also made sure it passed the automated test bench. This applies for all four modes of SPI which differs from the aspect of clock Read more…
I was not capable of verifying the codes that I modified because I had problems understanding how the output signal waveform should and should not be. I was frustrated with myself that I could not even understand the simple communication protocol, GPIO. Dr. Shawn was also angry and had to Read more…
