Weekly Logs
Week 1 (05/31/22 - 06/05/22)
- Met the cohort, mentor, and research group.
- Reviewed potential subjects of research
- Updating Exploring CS curriculum - Porting Embedded XINU to Virgil Programming Language - Porting Embedded XINU to RISC-V Architecture
- Researched RISC-V as a potential processor to port OS Xinu over to.
- RISC-V is most applicable for small devices with it's energy conservation and great performance for strictly simple tasks. - RISC refers to Reduced Instruction Set Computer - Advantage: Open-Source license that does not require fees to use - Advantage: Creating a custom chip is easier - Advantage: Base module is extremely limited, allowing customization/optimization. - Advantage: Power efficient, magnitudes less energy than CISC models. - Disadvantage: Not many purchasable, brand-name RISC-V processors available. - Disadvantage: With only simple instructions available, complex tasks are slower.
- Conducted personal research into single-board computers, hardware architecture, and assembly language to contextualize my research of RISC-V.
- Completed RCR training modules through CITI program
- Began research into Virgil
Week 2 (06/06/22 - 06/12/22)
- Officially began work on Porting Embedded XINU to Virgil Programming Language.
- Began contextual research into porting and operating systems.
- Began researching Embedded Xinu
- Virgil does not compile/execute to Windows OS, requiring some option for me to work from my Surface Pro laptop.
- Installed and set-up Debian, a Linux environment on my Windows computer through WSL.
- Executed a "Hello World!" written in Virgil on Debian
