I got my marked RFS assignment back today, the one here. I was given 87.5% for it, which I’m not too thrilled about. I think it was quite a good assignment, really. I understand the topic – I’ve been working in the area for years – and although my write-up does have some of the… Read more
So, ADD… well, let’s conclude first: it’s working now. Pretty flawlessly, too. And yes, as expected, all my frustrated random changes were fruitless and pointless; the code was more or less correct days ago. So, let’s rehash today.

So, another day, another few hours of my life forever wasted. Today’s ADD bug was particular sinister – the seven-segment display was displaying all the digits over each other, as I noted previously. The trick with this quad-digit display is that it only has one set of segment inputs; you can direct which if any… Read more
Rob & I spent most of the day in the ADD lab, working on ADD and, in his case, the ENP presentation for tomorrow morning. It took me a little while to get the code to compile; HDL Designer had gone and randomly renamed dozens of signals, as it tends to do, which I then… Read more
