Yes we did Now make it work for real Should not be difficult Why are we giving you so much time? You will need this interface to work well33/13/2009 EECS150 Lab Lecture #8 7Serial Interface (2) …Is your main debugging tool Chipscope won’t cut it Too many wires to look at Too few free BRAMs due to video …Is our main I/O device Only means of communicating with CPU …Is your best friend?
