Lab 8 ,  Due 5/1/09, 12:00 noon!!!!
Communicating between a Linux/ARM-based board and the Renesas Board
  • Assignment (pdf file) is available soon (however, version 0.1 was sent in an email).
  • No solution will be provided.
  • Warning: Please do not link the 'linuxrc-sdroot' file to the 'linuxrc' file as given in the manual. Just run "./linuxrc-sdroot" or "sh linuxrc-sdroot" after you boot into fastboot Linux.
  • Also power the board at 5 volts, do not exceed this voltage limit. Please make sure the polarity on the power connector is correct before plugging in the board.

Lab 7,  Due Various Dates, BEGINNING OF CLASS!!!!
Xillinx Board and Embedded Systems
  • Assignment 7.1 (TUTORIAL) is due 3/25.
    • Perform the tutorial at
    • NOTE:  when it comes to configuring your boards you will need to follow the procedures from the second link on the tutorials page.
    • You will use schematic capture to design the circuit, synthesize the circuit, and download the functionality to the FPGA board.
    • Once you have completed the exercise, show the TA your work.
      Show the TA your schematic. ________
      Show the TA your simulation. ________
      Show the TA your working FPGA board showing the working circuit ________
      Turn in to the TA a printout of your schematic and simulation.
  • Assignment 7.2 is due 4/13.  Implement the washing machine finite state machine using VHDL and the Xilinx board.  See the 3/30 notes for more detail.
