Projects

RISC-V CPU with Custom AES ISA Extension

In Progress

Pipelined RV32I in Verilog with a custom AES instruction — SubBytes/ShiftRows/MixColumns datapath in the execute stage. 5-stage pipeline with hazard detection and forwarding unit. AES in R-type format with dedicated combinational crypto datapath bypassing the ALU. UART plaintext-to-ciphertext demo on FPGA.

AXI-Lite Hardware Accelerator with Firmware Control

Complete

AXI-Lite slave with register file, control FSM, and datapath. Synthesized in Vivado, verified via directed testbenches, driven by bare-metal firmware on FPGA. MMIO address decode; FSM: IDLE→EXEC→DONE; firmware polls status register for completion.

Multichannel Signal Processing System

In Progress

3-channel round-robin SPI ADC pipeline with per-channel AXI-Lite accelerators for FIR filtering. On-fabric DSP algorithms for edge computing without host dependency. Arch: Arbitrated SPI master → dedicated FIR blocks → central DSP core via AXI-Lite fabric.

FPGA-Based Optical Sensor Acquisition System

Complete

Mixed-signal FPGA pipeline: SPI ADC master, synchronous FIFO, UART TX in Verilog RTL. Deterministic 1 kHz streaming. 16-deep FIFO decouples acquisition/UART domains. CDC via gray-coded pointers, verified with ModelSim directed testbench.
