Week of 21 September 2026
I completed the first onboarding lab by reading and following the instructions. The main items I learned are, how to install WSL, how to utilize git and Github, and running module/testbench in VSCode. There was minimal problems, with all issues being quickly fixed by rereading the instructions. One issue I had was a command not working. I solved the issue by updating and upgrading all the packages.

- Onboarding Lab 1: Completed Lab #1
Week of 28 September 2026
I completed the second onboarding lab by reading and following the instructions. I learned how to write basic combinational, sequential, and FSM-based RTL. I had some difficulty implementing the FSM (more specifically the always_comb) until I realized that I just had to update the state depending on input x, which made the structure like a bunch of if/else statements. Otherwise there were no other major difficulty.
