Lab Policies
Do not eat or drink in the lab. Please keep the lab clean and neat by returning
equipment, manuals, and tools to their proper place. If you leave the lab
for any length of time, please clear your work space so someone else can
use it. All CSE467 students must use the lab, so do not assume that you
can use a workbench indefinitely. If for some reason you need to monopolize
a bench or piece of equipment, make sure to leave a note explaining the
situation with your name and a phone number where we can reach you.
Lab Computers
Do not store files on the local drives—store them in your account on the
server. Do not try to modify the machine configurations (e.g. do not add
software)—ask the lab manager to do it for you. Back up your files,
and be careful w.r.t viruses. We reserve the right to view/edit/destroy
any files ont he local drives, and to reformat any local disk in the lab
which we suspect to be infected or otherwise damaged or corrupted. We regularly
clean up all the disks in the lab to eliminate accumulated files and free
up disk space. Again, do not leave any files on a lab machines—they may
be gone when you return.
Security
The 327 door lock recognizes only those students who are signed up to use
the hardware lab. You will be added to the access list at the beginning
of the quarter, and removed at the end of the quarter. The lock also keeps
track of when you enter the lab. You can use the lab any time, day or night.
Do not allow ANYONE into the lab, and make sure the windows and doors are
locked at all times. Tektronix and Intel have donated some wonderful new
equipment, and we don't want to lose any of it. Do not remove any equipment,
documentation, or tools from the lab without checking with Christopher
first.
Christopher Morgan will be available during normal business hours. If
you have questions, talk with him.
Design Kits
The design kits contain everything youneed to complete the laboratory assignments.
To check out a design kit, you must leave a $200 security deposit (leave
a check with Christopher). UW will cash this check if you do not return
your design kit. If the check bounces, they will put a hold on your transcript
and diploma.
Software
You can find information on the lab software here.
We will be using the Foundation
Toolset from Xilinx. There is
a FAQ page for
Foundation. Also available are a Verilog
tutorial, a Verilog reference
manual, and a free Verilog compiler
(NT/W95/W98 platform; restricted to 1000 lines of code).
Test Equipment
You can find information on the lab test equipment here.
