After VCF East, I’ve been spending time catching up on other consulting projects, building up inventory again, ordering parts, and some internal administrative duties.
One of the on-going projects is getting all the files for our projects into an off-site source code control system. Over the years I’ve spent a lot of time using professional tools like ClearCase and Plastic, but we’ve settled on Git for in-house projects. New tools, new methodology, and project pieces are spread over three different computers.
There is also on-going efforts to clean up some existing designs and order new boards, finish up some software, etc. A couple new products might use FPGAs or CPLDs, so switching from VHDL to Verilog is taking some learning. I worked with VHDL engineers for many years but I’ve been using C since the 1980s so going Verilog will be easier for me.
No new products just yet, but there should be at least one new thing in time for VCF MW in September.
