This week, we have received our FPGA and the plug-in wiring needed to supply the power.
In order to move forward according to our plans, we began with the following tasks in parallel:
- Booting Linux on the FPGA in order to start attempting the model on the embedded core.
- Extending the UI script to a multi-client FPGA based approach.
- Working out the UI testing system(developing the form and our exact method of analyzing the responses.
The details of how each task was accomplished are in the individual status reports.
At this time, we have accomplished the following:
- Sending a query onto the FPGA.
- Booting linux on the board.
- We have finalized the UI script study questions.
Currently we are ahead of schedule on the technical fronts, but are probably a bit behind schedule on the user study. For now, this is not that concerning given that it is very easy to adjust the UI script to user feedback, and we are anyway improving on it at this time for the FPGA extension.
