  • Project demonstration venue

    Posted by Hasindu Gamaarachchi Wednesday 24 October 2018, 04:39:31 PM.

    The project demonstration ( Friday, 26 Oct ) venue is the Bugle / Horn lab in the J17 building. Refer https://taggi.cse.unsw.edu.au/FAQ/CSE_lab_map/ for the map.

    -Please be present 10 minutes before your booked time slot. All group members must be present. Bring a laptop with the programming environment (Atmel studio, drivers, flashing scripts, project files) setup as you might be asked to demonstrate the compilation of the project and the flashing to the board.

    -Boards will be collected at the end of the demonstration. In rare cases where a group have multiple boards, all those should be brought and handed over.

    -If you opted in for a late marking for lab 5, the venue will be the same. In such cases, boards will be collected after the lab marking.

  • Lab 5 extension marking

    Posted by Hasindu Gamaarachchi Thursday 18 October 2018, 03:38:26 PM.

    If you are one of the 10 groups that opted in for getting the lab 5 marked in the 13th week (imposes the extension penalty - you get only 70% of the maximum mark) select a slot from the following.

    Only one student from each group should make a booking. Put your ZID (and your name inside brackets) as the participant name

  • Noises in the lecture today

    Posted by Hui Wu Thursday 11 October 2018, 03:13:04 PM.

    Dear All,

    My lecture today was interrupted many times due to periodical radio noises. A staff member from UNSW CATS told me that the noises were caused by someone using a microphone with the same frequency as the one used in the lecture room.

    Sorry for the noises.

  • Late Labs 3-5

    Posted by Hui Wu Saturday 15 September 2018, 11:14:04 AM.

    Dear COMP2121 Students,

    Some students may have difficulty in completing Labs 3-5 in time. Since Labs 3-5 provide building blocks for the project, you need to complete them.

    In order to help you better manage your time for different courses, I give one week extension with penalty to Labs 3-5. Specifically, you can mark your programs one week late, but the full marks of each task will be 70% of the original full marks. No program can be marked if it is later than one week.

    The labs and project are extremely important for the final exam. In the final exam, there will be 3 assembly programming questions each worth 20 marks. Therefore, you need to spend sufficient time in labs.

    I will release the project next Wed.

    Cheers,

    Hui

  • Changes of Lab 3 Specification

    Posted by Hui Wu Saturday 01 September 2018, 04:24:55 PM.

    Dear COMP2121 Students,

    The lab specification of Lab 3 has been changed in order to avoid wiring changes. Under the current specification, you do not need to make any changes to the wiring made for board testing.

    Please download the new lab specification. However, if you still want to use the previous lab specification, it is also fine.

    Have a good weekend,

    Hui

  • Lab Three

    Posted by Hui Wu Thursday 30 August 2018, 08:36:24 PM.

    Dear COMP2121 Students,

    Lab 3 is available. Since Lab 3 you will be using AVR board to run your programs.

    Lab 3 may need significantly more time than the previous two labs. So start working on it as soon as possible.

    I have not covered AVR ports. However, examples about using ports and LEDs are given in the lab specification. You can easily modify the parts for ports and LEDs for all the tasks.

    If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

    Cheers,

    Hui


  • Assignment

    I have released the assignment. In this assignment, you will give an overview of an ARM microprocessor and write a report. You work solo. The deadline is Sept 9.

    Cheers,

  • Typos in the slides for AVR Programming (I)

    Posted by Hui Wu Wednesday 08 August 2018, 08:52:04 PM.

    Dear All,

    I have fixed the typos as I explained in the lecture today. The typos are as follows:

    1. sbi should be subi

    2. Hyphen - in an identifier should be underscore _.

    3. The register in ldi should be a register of the upper register file (r16-r31).

    Sorry for the typos.

  • Lab One

    Posted by Hui Wu Thursday 02 August 2018, 01:39:07 PM.

    Dear All,

    Lab One is available. There are four compulsory tasks and one optional task. If you solve the optional task, you will get bonus marks.

    You will work in a group of two students in all the labs. Next week, you need to find a lab mate at the beginning of the first lab. If you cannot find a lab mate, contact your lab tutors. If you still cannot find one, contact the course admin Hasindu. You can find his email in the left pane by clicking Staff.

    Both students of a group need to contribute roughly equally. It's not acceptable that one student does most of the work. After you finish a task, ask a lab tutor to mark your solution. The lab tutor will ask you to explain how your solution works and may ask you some questions related to your solution.

    In case lab tutors cannot mark your solutions in time, keep them intact and ask a lab tutor to mark them in next lab class.

    We do not accept any late lab submissions unless you have strong reasons.

    There will be four labs, each taking two weeks. You use AVR Studio to simulate your programs in the first two labs, and use the AVR board to run your programs in the last three labs.

    You need to install AVR Studio on your laptop. Follow this link to download the latest version: http://www.microchip.com/mplab/avr-support/atmel-s...

    Note that AVR Studio works on Windows only. For Mac users, refer to this tutorial: http://www.thinkcreate.org/index.php/avr-studio-on-mac-os/.

    You need to work out most code at home as lab time is far from enough.

    It is important that you never accumulate your problems. Otherwise, you may get lost in AVR assembly programming.

    Enjoying AVR assembly programming!

    Cheers,

    Hui
