Since there is only one of these boards in the project inventory at the moment, we can pivot to ordering another Cyclone V board online if the DE10-Standard is claimed by another team (we are considering this less costly FPGA: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.terasic.com.tw\/cgi-bin\/page\/archive.pl?Language=English&amp;CategoryNo=218&amp;No=1021&amp;PartNo=2#contents\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/www.terasic.com.tw\/cgi-bin\/page\/archive.pl?Language=English&amp;CategoryNo=218&amp;No=1021&amp;PartNo=2#contents<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">). This will be a significant portion of our budget but our required items for purchase are not as expensive as this FPGA, so we will still be well within budget even if we need to purchase another FPGA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Design Changes:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although we have not made changes to our design yet and will continue to discuss this on Monday, we are working to incorporate feedback from our proposal. We are considering changing our design to from being entirely wired to including wireless communication where necessary to improve our scalability. We are currently exploring our options still, but we are primarily looking at bluetooth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Schedule Change:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After the proposal presentations, we realized that our Gantt chart wasn\u2019t accounting for spring break, so we decided to change that and include a time for break. Note that the RTL implementation task likely will not be worked on during spring break, but we thought that it wouldn\u2019t be as clear if we separated the same task into two different tasks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-39\" src=\"http:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/s24-teamc3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/287\/2024\/02\/Screenshot-2024-02-10-at-9.10.54-PM-300x90.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"633\" height=\"190\" srcset=\"http:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/s24-teamc3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/287\/2024\/02\/Screenshot-2024-02-10-at-9.10.54-PM-300x90.png 300w, http:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/s24-teamc3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/287\/2024\/02\/Screenshot-2024-02-10-at-9.10.54-PM-768x229.png 768w, http:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/s24-teamc3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/287\/2024\/02\/Screenshot-2024-02-10-at-9.10.54-PM-1024x306.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 633px) 100vw, 633px\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Risk Identification and Mitigation Strategies Primary Risk Concern: A major risk for this project is choosing an acceptable FPGA to support our hardware acceleration constraints.
