Checklist:
Please read the checklist and prepare the requirements BEFORE asking for approval.
Lab Assignments:
Guides:
Avoiding Latches, Coding Styles
Assignment 1:
Sequence Detector (Presentation, Testfiles) (Sequence : email or visit Masoud (Mohammad Attari) if your name is not on the list, or something is incorrect)
Assignment 2:
Keyboard Controller (Presentation, Lab_Manual, VHDLfiles, Top_Testbench)
Assignment 3:
ALU (Presentation, Lab_Manual, VHDL Files, Modulo3, tb_ALU)
Assignment 4 and 5:
You can choose from one of the following two tracks (or propose your own project, if you feel more adventurous):
1) VGA + CORDIC
Calculator with memory and VGA display. (Lab Manual 4, 5, Presentation, Matlab Files, CORDIC Intro, Report Template)
When using the reference design, the coe file for the ROM needs to be pointed to the correct location before synthesis. The location of the coe file is
"YOUR_PJT\VGA_REF_DESIGN\VGA_REF_DESIGN.srcs\sources_1\imports\vhdl\ip_core\welcome_480x120.coe"
Please use:
use ieee.std_logic_arith.all;
use ieee.std_logic_unsigned.all;
instead of IEEE.NUMERIC_STD.ALL to maintain compatibility with the VGA reference design
2) Machine learning
CNN (presentation, project files), tutorial, and instruction manual
Update: 10/October/2019: Check out this nice explanation of what is and how to do a multidimensional convolution: (https://towardsdatascience.com/a-comprehensive-introduction-to-different-types-of-convolutions-in-deep-learning-669281e58215)
Biases for Fully connected layers are:
FC1: signed("110100"), signed("010100"), signed("011000");
FC2:signed("00110")
Additianal Material:
- A few slides on Questasim are here.
- A few slides on using Xilinx Vivado are here.
- An example project for using Xilinx IP generators and ILA can be downloaded here.
NOTE: If you have logged in the first time using your account, you might have problems accessing licences. Log off and log back in and it should fix the problem.
NOTE: Create your Vivado projects inside C:\Users\login-id\Program\YOUR_DIRECTORY where YOUR_DIRECTORY is the directory where you save all your work
