CPE 315
Winter 2008
Professor Stearns
Laboratory Exercise #2
Due by the end of lab, Jan. 10


Notes:
  1. You may do this lab with one partner if you wish.
  2. You must use SIM for this lab.

Objectives:
  1. To learn how to build your own SIM circuit.
  2. To provide knowledge to make your SIM/Xilinx decision.
    See SIM vs. Xilinx tradeoffs

Files:
To get the files, copy/paste them from the www.

simulation file
makefile

Description:

  1. Make a directory to do this lab.
    mkdir your name
  2. Download the lab files into your directory

  3. Build the simulation
    make -f makefile.exe2

  4. Run the simulation - it doesn't do anything useful.
    ./exe2

  5. Write a truth table for the simulated circuit.

  6. Design and build a circuit that computes odd parity for 3 inputs.
    Reference: function signatures

    Ensure that your simulation operates.
    Print the source code for your circuit.
    At this point, call Prof. Stearns to verify and sign your work.

Deliverable
A professional lab report.
