Kaloyan’s Status Report for 3/14

This week, I spent a large amount of time on the ethics assignment. This involved doing the required readings, along with answering the appropriate questions and then applying that same thinking to my own project. In addition to my work on the ethics assignment, I also worked more on the RTL for the wavetable. I began integrating the phase accumulator into the input to the wavetable, and worked on creating the proper look up table for matching MIDI input to the correct frequency addition when updating the phase accumulator. I then use this phase accumulator value to index into the wavetable and output the correct amplitude. I am also working with Joaco and Misho to integrate these separate modules and ensure that they are functioning properly together. To validate the wavetable output, I ran a verilog testbench which saved the output and then compared to the expected value for each note. We then began validating the output on the audio CODEC, but have not done significant analysis to ensure that it matches directly with the expected note frequency we are playing. For next week, I am going to work on validating the note output.
