Lab Procedures

Task 1: Download and install the current version of Vivado Design Suite

Use all the resources identified in the Pre-Lab Reading to help you locate the current version of Vivado Design Suite. Download and install this version of Vivado Design Suite. Acquire the necessary licenses and activate your Vivado Design Suite.

Task 2: Create your CSC340L file directory.

Vivado Design Suite can be very picky about its file directory. Create a folder as follows: C:CSC340LYourFirstName_LastName. This will be the folder for all your CSC340L labs and projects and will be referred to as your CSC340L directory.

Note: If the number of the course differs from this example, use the same logic/pattern to create your directory with the actual course number.

Task 3: Create your first project named Lab1.

Create this empty project and make sure it is created successfully. You can check whether the project is created successfully by doing one or both of the following:

1. Verify Lab1 directory is created under your CSC340L directory.
2. In Vivado Design Suite, close the project by selecting File > Project > Close. Then reopen the project by selecting File > Project > Open.

Lab Assignment

Video Report for Lab 1 that includes the following:

• The accurate and complete walkthrough of the Vivado Design Suite download and installation in Task 1. This shall include enough details for a new student of CSC340L to follow and install and activate Vivado Design Suite successfully.
• Successful reopening of the Lab1 project as described in Task 3.

Zip file the design directory that you created in Task 3, name your file name your zip file YourFirstName_LastName_Lab1.

For each lab, you are required to submit all of the following items:

1. Screen Recording of your work
2. ZIP file of the complete Xilinx/Vivado project folder
3. Lab Report (PDF format)

Lab Report (PDF) Requirements

Each lab report must include the following clearly and professionally organized sections:

• Student Name
• Student ID
• Lab / Homework Title
• Problem Statement(s)
• Solution(s)

For each solution, you must include:

• Methodology: A clear explanation of how you approached and completed the lab
• Screenshots of both types of code (e.g., Verilog modules and testbench, if applicable)
• Screenshots of schematics and simulations generated in Vivado
• Clear explanations connecting your code, schematics, and results

Important Notes

• Submissions without a properly formatted PDF lab report will be considered incomplete.
• This format will be used consistently for all lab submissions up to Week 6.
• Make sure all files are clearly named and uploaded under the correct assignment.

Below, we have provided a suggested format to help you organize your work. Youre welcome to use it or adapt it to your own style just be sure your final submission meets all the requirements in the rubric.

For each assignment, we suggest submitting two files:

1. Your code file – contains all your work.
2. Your answers file walks graders through what you did and what you found. For each coding question, include:

• • Methodology functions used, models implemented, and how the model was evaluated.
  • Results equations, graphs, tables, and performance metrics
  • Discussion of Results discuss what your results mean for this dataset. Mention anything surprising, possible reasons for weak performance, ways to improve the model, other analyses worth exploring, and any ethical or legal considerations

My name is Cornelius Moneybags and I’m one of those extravagantly wealthy venture capitalists you have heard about on the news. My child really wants to go to an Esports event for {Your Game Here}. Money is no object for you, I simply want to make this the best possible event imaginable.

Please respond with your plan on how to make such an event occur.

Where is the venue going to be located?
Who will be assisting in your project?
What is your timeline to make this all work?

Who will be competing?
Is there another event that you’re going to potentially base this on?

I look forward to reading your 2-page planning document describing answers to all of these questions and any other information you want to share with me, Cornelius Moneybags. Oh also, I’d only to worry about this event for a weekend, so please limit it to 2 days.
