Completed projects

RGB2YCbCr FPGA Design

This project implements a RGB2YCbCr project using two different approaches: using SmartHLS C++ and RTL language Verilog. The idea behind this is to evaluate the pros and cons using RTL approach and C++ approach.

Sobel Operator FPGA Design

This project designs a sobel edge detector that processes an RGB image and outputs the processed RGB image in black and white where edges are enhanced. The design code is written in Verilog  and the associated testbenches are in SystemVerilog.

RISC-V Core RTL Implementation

This project contains various implementations of a RISC-V core supporting 32I ISA. The design code and the associated testbenches are in SystemVerilog.

BLE-based Bedroom Environment Monitor

This project is a Low-Power-Bluetooth-based smart bedroom environment monitor which will promote good sleep quality by measuring and adjusting temperature, light and noise instantly for optimal sleep quality.

The project will monitor and adjust three factors of the bedroom environment using 3 sensors so as to meet the optimal conditions. In addition, the product enables the user to sleep better at any time by promoting the user to set the sleep time and configuring temperature, light and noise values correspondingly and automatically.

Smart Facial Tracker

As home security camera systems are excellent tools for home protection and are great applications of computer vision, Facial Tracker is developed as a home security system using computer vision technologies. Facial Tracker detects and recognizes strangers nearby the protected property, tracks the individuals continuously and warns the owner of the property when the stranger is too close to the property. 

Space Shooter Game

The Shooter Game Battle Arena Donk! is a simple SDL-based game implemented in C++11. This game allows the player(i.e. Donk) to shoot enemies and gain points. Powerups such as health powerups and bullet powerups are randomly provided after killing each enemy. And upon one round of the game, the player has the option to records his/her score in the game achievement table. However, scores will not be stored in non-volatile storage, so each time the player closes the game, all scores will be removed. 

Mini-WAV-Player

A STM32-based WAV player that reads files from a storage device and plays it out through a speaker. Buttons are used to control the device such as starting/pausing songs. The song data such as the name of the song and current volume are displayed using an LCD. The selected song file is read from the USB flash drive and played via audio speaker.
