Home  Week 1  Week 2  Week 3   Week 4  Week 5  Week 6  Week 7  Week 8   Final Report     Week 6 Report July 5 - July 9 2010  This week I dedicated my time to debugging my code. The Xilinx ISE 12.1 software gave me several warnings which I have to review and decide whether the warning can be ignore or I would need to correct the error in my code. It is very important to examine each warning to avoid possible hardware malfunction. In the process of developing the code sometimes, it is necessary to code in a way that might cause the compiler to generate a warning. Nevertheless, even though some warnings clear others may be the result of typos and/or errors on the code which can cause the FPGA device to malfunction. At the beginning of the week I had a total of 200 or more warnings that I needed to look at and judge whether it was coded as part of the design or an error. By the end of this week I have reduced the number down around 60 warnings. You can reach me at fernandez.andres@sbcglobal.net
