Floating Point Adder Optimization
SystemVerilogYosysnextpnrVerilatorPythoniCEBreaker
- Optimized an IEEE-754 combinational floating-point adder to improve FPGA timing performance by 4×.
- Increased operating frequency by 312% (from 8 MHz to 33 MHz) through pipeline tuning and logic restructuring.
- Used Verilator and DPI-C for fuzz testing, correctness validation, and performance benchmarking.
- Synthesized design with Yosys/nextpnr toolchain for iCEBreaker FPGA; validated via UART and Python scripting.
FPGA Hardware Labs
SystemVerilogVerilator
- Designed FIFO, RAM-based buffers, and ready/valid pipelines in SystemVerilog.
- Built and tested pipelined adder/multiplier/MAC units with timing-aware design practices.
- Verified functionality using Verilator-based simulation and maintained reusable source code for regression testing.
FPGA-Based Audio Tuner
iCEBreaker FPGASystemVerilogDSPMAC pipeline
- Designed and implemented a real-time audio tuner on the iCEBreaker FPGA.
- Developed a Multiply-Accumulate (MAC) pipeline to compute inner products between samples and reference signals.
- Generated sinusoids for multiple musical notes (A–G) to detect dominant frequencies with ±1 Hz precision.
- Optimized signal processing pipeline using hardware parallelism in an R&D exploration of real-time pitch detection.
ESP32-C3 Bluetooth Mouse
ESP32-C3ESP-IDFBluetooth HIDI2C
- Built a wireless Bluetooth HID mouse using the ESP32-C3 microcontroller for cursor emulation.
- Interfaced an ICM-42670-P accelerometer over I2C and leveraged the ESP-IDF Bluetooth stack for reliable cross-platform performance.
svAi (SystemVerilog Assistant)
TauriRustReactTypeScriptMonaco EditorSystemVerilogVerilatorGTKWaveMSYS2Ollama
- Built a lightweight Windows desktop IDE for SystemVerilog: edit → lint → build → run → view waveforms.
- Implemented a robust Verilator + make pipeline (via MSYS2 bash) with error parsing, quick navigation, and safe prompts for unsaved files.
- Integrated GTKWave for FST waveform viewing; added project config (.svlab.json) and filelist management (files.f) for reproducible builds.
- Developed an AI-assisted edit workflow (local Ollama or API) supporting safe file ops (create/write/edit), multi-file review/apply, and patch previews.
