Week 08: Finish CORDIC/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
