  1. CSE351 Course Project Tutorial By Dongyuan Zhan dzhan@cse.unl.edu

  2. Objectives The three projects will lead you to eventually create your own prototype OS on a bare-system FPGA board. Gain genuine understanding of the OS kernel principles from hands-on experience. Practice efficient teamwork and effective project management skills that make your work splendid. CSE351 Course Project Tutorial

  3. Overview CSE351 Course Project Tutorial

  4. Tasks • One Lab + Three Projects (on a team basis, accounting for 40% of your final grade) • Pre-project Lab (0%, by 09/21) : to prepare you for the projects • Project I (5%, by 10/05): to design a timer interrupt handler • Project II (20%, by 11/13): to devise multithreading and scheduling mechanisms • Project III (15%, by 12/07): to provide a synchronization mechanism for the coordination among multiple threads CSE351 Course Project Tutorial

  5. Teams • 18 teams have been formed, with 2-3 members in each group • http://www.flickr.com/photos/66755201@N04/sets/72157627524789258/detail/ • Each group should have a team leader who schedules and coordinates group events and submits your work to the hand-in system. • Each team will be provided ≥2 FPGA boards. You can use your personal computer or a Lab machine to manipulate the boards, as long as the required software is installed. CSE351 Course Project Tutorial

  6. Infrastructure • Hardware • the Altera DE-2/DE-1 board • Software • Quartus-II Web Edition 11.0sp1 • It also includes the Nios-II v11.0 Software Build Tools for Eclipse • https://www.altera.com/download/software/quartus-ii-we/11.0sp1 (download registration required) • Virtualbox (only for Mac users) • http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Mac%20OS%20X%20build%20instructions CSE351 Course Project Tutorial

  7. Infrastructure • Software • USB Blaster Driver • It enables DE-2 to communicate with your computer • How to install it can be found at • WINXP: http://www.altera.com/download/drivers/usb-blaster/dri-usb-blaster-xp.html • WIN7/VISTA: http://www.altera.com/download/drivers/usb-blaster/dri-usb-blaster-vista.html CSE351 Course Project Tutorial

  8. Infrastructure • Software • Nios-II Soft-Core CPU • It is essentially a VHDL/Verilog design that configures the FPGA to function as a CPU. • DE2 Version: http://cse.unl.edu/~dzhan/wiki/images/DE2_NIOS-II.zip • DE1 Version: http://cse.unl.edu/~dzhan/wiki/images/DE1_NIOS-II.zip CSE351 Course Project Tutorial

  11. Steps • Download the Nios-II Soft CPU to the FPGA Platform • http://cse.unl.edu/~dzhan/wiki/index.php5/Cse351:Fall_2011:Pre_Project_Lab#Download_the_Nios-II_Soft_CPU_to_the_FPGA_Platform • Create a Nios-II C Project • http://cse.unl.edu/~dzhan/wiki/index.php5/Cse351:Fall_2011:Pre_Project_Lab#Create_a_Nios-II_C_Project • Build the Project • http://cse.unl.edu/~dzhan/wiki/index.php5/Cse351:Fall_2011:Pre_Project_Lab#Build_the_Project CSE351 Course Project Tutorial

  12. Steps • Observe the FPGA Platform Output • http://cse.unl.edu/~dzhan/wiki/index.php5/Cse351:Fall_2011:Pre_Project_Lab#Observe_the_FPGA_Platform_Output • Debug the Project • http://cse.unl.edu/~dzhan/wiki/index.php5/Cse351:Fall_2011:Pre_Project_Lab#Debug_the_Project CSE351 Course Project Tutorial

  13. Milestones • Pre-Lab (by Sep. 21) • No submission is required • Project I (by Oct. 5) • The design and report need to be submitted • Project II (by Nov. 13) • The design and report need to be submitted • Project III (by Dec. 7) • The design and report need to be submitted CSE351 Course Project Tutorial

  14. Grading Criteria • Following is the grading criteria with a total of 100 points for any projects. But different projects may carry different weights in your final grade. • Project report: 50% • Correctness of the program: 40% • Detailed source code comments and README: 10% • Typically, all members in a team will get the same grade for a project, unless the team leader or other members report to the lab TA that someone contributes little to the project and he/she should get only a certain percentage (e.g., 90%) of the team’s grade.

  15. Some Suggestions for Your Success • Start as early as you can! • Do good project management (e.g., risk anticipation) • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_management • Do efficient teamwork • Use version control system to manage your source code • SVN/Mecurial/Git (on Windows/Unix) • http://code.google.com/hosting/createProject • Be active in discussing with the TAs CSE351 Course Project Tutorial
