Project
Description This page holds information you need
to complete the term project for the course. The projects are completed by
each individual. You can either select a fixed project (really a large
homework assignment) or you can choose your own project. The project should
involve some experimentation with an FPGA board and learning FPGA tools. It
is recommended that you purchase a Terasic DE1-SOC board to complete the
project. Ordering information can be obtained from Prof. Tessier. The project contains both a pre-lab
and a final report which includes a demo. You must demonstrate that you have
implemented your design on the board successfully. In order to receive a
final grade for the project, there must be an experimental result that is
shown (e.g. a graph, table, or chart).
The purpose of the project
proposal is to provide background material for the work you are to complete
and to describe the actual experiments and expected results. The proposal
should be sufficiently detailed so that I can understand specifically what
you are going to do. An important part of the proposal is my understanding of
your proposed work. If I think the project is too large I will ask you to
trim it down. The following is a general outline for the proposal. All page
counts are for 11pt. font, single spaced, not counting pictures, tables, or
other graphics. 1. Topic introduction (0.5 -
1 page) 2. Discussion of previous
work and how it relates to your topic. DO NOT CUT 3. Discussion of your
experimental approach (including specific tools, methodologies, experiments,
etc.). Try to be as specific as possible. (1 page) 4. Expected results. What
exactly will your result be? What will you show in a table or chart? Be
specific. (1 page) 5. Project Summary (0.5 to 1
page) 6. References (should include
more than just web pages)

Project final report and
presentation A brief final report will be
written which primarily describes your experimentation and results. Please
try to form conclusions rather than simply reporting numbers. It is not
necessary to do something "thesis quality" but it would be nice to
show at least one conclusion as a result of the experiments. It is expected
that the proposal will be revised and a results section will be added. Here
is the format of the final project report. 1. Project Introduction. This
can be the same as for the proposal. 2. Discussion of
experimentation. How did you perform the experimentation? This can be a
revision of the proposal (1 pages) 3. Discussion of results. (2
pages) 4. Problems encountered. (1
page) 5. Answers to questions posed
in the assignment (for fixed project) (1 page) 6. Project summary (1 page) 7. References |
