Week 1:

  • Reviewed all of the labs

Week 2:

  • Looked into AMBA and Core teams. Talked to some people about them. AMBA seemed interesting at first because I wanted to learn more about communication protocols.
  • Deciding to just go with the Core team

Week 3:

  • Before breaking into the RISC-V processor design, I am currently creating a very simple CPU which I am going to implement on an FPGA
  • Thinking about having a 2 bit instruction set for addition, subtraction, and, or
  • 4 bit registers
  • Thinking about what parts of a Control Unit I would need to make the CPU barely functional
  • Currently designing memory unit
