Integration and Test
Integration and test has been mostly back and forth discussion with our industry contact to see where
the project needs to be going. We start by getting an idea of what the next task to complete should be
for each person. Then we talk to him about what the end result should look like. Next we build a basic
working structure of the item, and refine it while talking with out industry advisor to find out what
works the best for the application.
The testing done includes the work on the individual systems, fine tuning and debugging them. Testing
on the FPGA has largely been functionality testing, making sure that it works the way we intended it to.
Testing with the GUI has been to test that features work.
Milestones
- Fully test GUI shell. [Completed: In Progress]
- Fully test UART on the FPGA. [Completed: In Progress]
- Integration and test of UART communication between the FPGA and the GUI. [Completed: In Progress]
- Complete end-to-end system. [Completed: In Progress]
Hardware
- Xilinx SP605 development board with Spartan VI FPGA.
- Noise board to allow for noise injection
Software
- Xilinx ISE, used to write the Verilog code to the FPGA board.
- Visual Studios, used to write the C# code needed to implement the GUI.
