Week 08: Final Project Prep/Student Presentations

Oct 15

No class; work on Final Project Ideas

A good use of time would be to

start mapping out your final project proposal
start thinking about final project ideas
- note that you don’t have to roll entirely new projects from scratch
- Search “hls fpga” or “hls fpga vitis” for ideas
- perfectly fine to augment existing projects for your own purposes
- also fine to start from scratch
- use Vitis Libraries as inspiration
  - note that I’ve linked the 2023.1 branch
start thinking about how you’ll create your final poster
- potential template
