FPGA Night (1/28 @ 7:00 pm)

By on January 27, 2014

We will finish work on our pointer instructions for the CPU. After that, we will start work on an SPI interface for SRAM. I do no expect that we will finish, but we should at least get the state machine coded up. The SPI module will not be specific to the CPU, but will eventually […]

CTF Meeting: Jan 26th 6pm (Free SANS class inside)

By on January 19, 2014

Subject: Forensics Why forensics? Often, when I talk about CTFs to people, they picture it being solely about exploiting boxes at Defcon. While exploiting is indeed a flashy part of CTFs, it is only a portion of the skills used to qualify or compete in a CTF. This month’s meeting is to inform/remind people that […]

FPGA Night (3 Dec, 7-10PM)

By on December 2, 2013

We will be implementing a Xilinx divider IP core so that our CPUs can divide. If we finish creating and testing the divider, then we will move on to creating a flags register and implementing addca (add with carry). Please bring a breadboard and jumpers so that we can troubleshoot using the three external IO […]

FPGA Night (26 Nov, 7-10PM)

By on November 24, 2013

We had planned on adding division and add w/ carry, but there has been a change. Since the divider opcode took quite a while, we will be covering how to get the divider working from the ground up. This will be done using the ISE simulator and simple test bench code. We will cover the […]

FPGA Night (19 Nov, 7-10PM)

By on November 17, 2013

Continue work on our custom CPU. We will be finishing the push and pop opcodes and writing test programs to use them with ret and call. If time permits, we will also create the flags register and a new addition opcode that adds the remainder from the last addition operation. The code is up on […]

FPGA Night (12 Nov, 7-10PM)

By on November 11, 2013

We will be adding ‘addca’ to add the carry bit from the last addition operation. Additionally, we will be adding ‘call’ and ‘ret’ statements (along with the required stack information) to enable branching. Please bring a breadboard and jumpers so that we can troubleshoot using the three external IO buses. If you cannot bring those […]
