This week I was working on doing research on speech separation hardware requirements, which connected with the BOM selection work our whole team was working on. I specifically did research into the requirements on the MCU front, and as a result of this research have decided on some of the hardware specifications for our board. I also worked with Will and Ram to determine the specifications needed for microphones in order to interface with our target board.

In terms of schedule, I’m mostly on schedule with our initial planned schedule. The rate of progress on my part with the BOM work seems to be slow though, and although I anticipate being able to finish by our preset deadline, it would be close to the deliverable date.

This next week, my deliverables include a completed BOM (preferably by Tuesday), as well as some block diagrams for our system architecture design.
