My task for this week was integration and making the presentation. As far as integration went I was responsible for making sure the uart connection and io interface between our FPGA implementation of the AGC and the microcontroller worked (mostly on the FPGA side) and spend several hours debugging that. I also helped Jae with debugging the demo code once it was running on everything. Lastly I organized the work for the presentation and made several slides. To work on the presentation (particularly the quantitative testing slides) I had to write some code and take benchmarks of our design. We are more or less done with the technical component of our project (a week ahead of schedule). Next week I will be working on the poster and the apple video and the final report and whatever else we need to finish up the project.
