Are you a student in Istanbul too?

Turkey

TI180J484C-DK and Efinix Xyloni. Only these two can be bought here. One is 1000+$ other is budget. ☹️

DDR3 RAM and local availability.

We have 3 options here. Altera SoCs (I hate Quartus with a burning passion), Xilinx FPGAs/SoCs and small Lattice FPGAs and Tang Nano 9k.

The only two FPGAs I can buy that has a reasonable price and has the specs I want are both Xilinx FPGAs (Arty S7-50, Arty A7-100T).

I kinda have to use Vivado. Even though I hate bloated software like Vivado I think it would help me in the industry to know them.

We talked to our supposed advisor today and he told us we should add more image processing or deep learning shit because our current project is an EEE project and not a Computer Engineering project. He also said he might give us an F if we present this.

I’m speechless. I wish I have studied this field 10 years ago man…

I would but ever since the AI boom every single professor at my unis computer engineering department has gone full slop. They only work on AI projects and use LLMs frequently. I feel like I’m on my own with this lol.

I might try the EEE department though.

Lol yeah it’s a tight deadline. I made CPUs before but they were small projects for my custom ISA (which has like 10 instructions) and they didn’t have a bus interconnect.

This is a huge step up but could be a learning experience. I will definetly post it once it’s done (hopefully).

Thanks.

I would need a MIPI camera board I’m guessing?
