I provideed the assignment pdf. Previous assignment is also provided for reference.
In the source code you can find these implemented. You can use this repository as a reference if you want.
- Reading from and Writin to RAM
- Loading a .coe file into ROM and reading from it.
- Finite State Machines
If for some reason, this doesnt work, please shift to the submission branch.
That was the code that I've submitted.
I wrote comments in the source code to try to explain the project's layout. I've written these comments after a long time of making this assignment, so things may not be accurate.
If you are doing this course and feel very overwhelmed by the contents, my advice on this course is: This course is like learning to build a car. You donot need to learn how to build a car, learning how to drive one is enough. But, if you understand how a car is built, you can drive / customize it better.
I read the first few chapters of a book from our library called Computer architecture and organizaion by Hayes, John P.
It maynot teach you the course, but it will provide you enough history/motivation on why things are so.
I read that book when I was doing COL216, specifically the topic on FPGAs, i really hoped that
I knew about this when doing COL215.
This book also gave me the same feelings: Digital Design and Computer Architecture by David Harris and Sarah Harris.
