Roger Peel's Projects Roger Peel's Projects Here is the selection of final year projects that I am running in 1999-2000. The majority of these are assigned to students in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, and the remainder are assigned to students in the Department of Computing. They provide a pipelined approach to packet transmission and reception that previous integrated controllers did not.
Serial links provide a simple mechanism for the attachment of peripherals to processors.
On FPGA, such links provide a convenient, low-pinout communication structure. This project will interface an Ethernet to a serial link. It is now viable to implement a small microprocessor on a single FPGA device. It will then progress to implementation of this processor. The specific application that our small processor will be designed to accommodate has not yet been identified.
