Design Notebook for Cameron Bedard

Week of Feb 5th:

  • Added to the Github and read through the Course Documents and Getting Started section of the VIP website. Looked up and familiarized myself with termanology I did not know. Sought help from the team making my first pull request to create this notebook.

Week of Feb 12th:

  • Started working through the Onboarding Labs. Downloaded and booted my VM from the provided OVA file.
  • Worked on getting C++ wokring on my pirmary Windows OS as well. Had a error when trying to run code which led me to troubleshoot for two days before fixing a PATH issue with the compiler I installed. It was a good learning experince as far as how installing a compiler works and how VS Code works. A little futile considering all the work will be done on Linux but learned something none the less.
  • Finished setting up my Linux VM and completed Lab 1.
  • Started work on Lab 2.

Week of Feb 19th:

  • Continued work on Lab 2. Made slow progress due to school work load. But as a consequence I have been learning about timing in a processor and how different timers are used for differnet functions in a processor.
  • I started reading through the core documentation. Planning to power through the labs and join the work effort with the core team.
