My badge Hack at Hackaday Superconference 2015
November was a good time for many hackers and makers around and outside California who got to attend the Hackaday’s Superconference 2015. Power-packed with technical workshops, project presentations and badge hacking , this Superconference was one of the best platforms for the best minds around the world. It was my first hardware conference in […]
Arietta G25 – an Atmel ARM9 board
While I own a Raspberry Pi already, I was looking for a bare minimum ARM development board capable of running Linux and offers a good amount of I/O peripherals which the R-Pi lacks. I finally stumbled upon Arietta G25, a really tiny ARM board from acmesystems. This teeny tiny board costed just $35 from microcontrollershop.com. […]
RTL Design & Implementation of a RISC Processor and Peripheral Multiplexer -Part II
Here is the second part of the RISC Processor Design. I have implemented this Processor as a part of my ASIC Design Lab project “Programmable Controller/Router and Peripheral Design with peripheral I/O multiplexing”. This project focuses of peripheral multiplexing to the GPIO pins of the processor in runtime. An example case will be a […]
RTL Design & Implementation of a RISC- Single Cycle Processor -Part I
Low cost FPGA development platforms and Hardware Description Languages like Verilog & VHDL have not only made lives of Front-end VLSI Engineers easier but also hobbyists’ . I have been experimenting with a 40$ Xilinx FPGA development board for couple of years and its real fun. And now, a part of my project for […]
JTAG – Test Access Port (TAP)Controller based Xilinx FPGA configuration using Raspberry Pi
JTAG – Joint Test Action Group is an IEEE 1149.1 standard used in many silicon devices for programming and debugging purposes. Xilinx FPGAs support this JTAG protocol for their configuration. Here I have designed a JTAG FPGA bitstream programmer using Raspberry Pi which programs the bit file into FPGA in fraction of seconds! JTAG physical […]
