Sloooooooow

This was a slow month.

I was overly ambitious in how quickly I could read Baumann’s Cosmology. Luckily, there is no rush; I’ll try and finish it before the semester ends. I’ll also try and finish Preskill’s notes, but this is less urgent.

I tried bumping up the resolution of the camera experiment by storing the raw pixel data in some off-chip DRAM via a gearbox FIFO system. I need to write a testbench, since it’s buggy on the fabric. Although at this point, I’ve already read ahead in the labs and grokked the key concepts of the remaining labs (AXI, signed number weirdness, CRCs etc.), so I’m thinking of trasitioning to trying to hardware emulation for the GameTank.

I did nothing with OCaml, which I’m a bit disappointed in. I’m going to put this side project on hold until the semester ends.
