The most significant risk in our project remains to be the communication protocol. After deciding to switch from using Ethernet to UART, Ali and Grace made good progress on implementing UART this week. The receive direction of the datapath is completed, while the transmit direction is in progress. This upcoming week, Ali and Grace will work on transmit, after which we will have a functional protocol, making our system flow complete.
Meanwhile, Xiran has been working on the GUI. The output GUI is complete, and she will work on the input GUI this coming week.
There have been no changes to our existing design or schedule.
