Michaels Status Report for 4/24/2021

This week we worked together to integrate all of our components together. For me, we have integrated the FPGA together with the UI such that the UI is able to send moves over the UART communication channel and the FPGA HPS is able to process the input in the correct way.

A blockade that we had to overcome was an outdated version of python which the FPGA HPS came with so I had to reinstall python3.7 by compilation. I had a few other compilation issues having to do with armv7 with stockfish and other programs that needed to run on the FPGA HPS but I have solved those now.

We are mostly done with our integration and mostly now just focus on some of the features which we would like to implement such as the suggestion of multiple moves by stockfish. I am on schedule with my part of the integration and it seems everyone is doing well as well.
