§ Quiz 1 take home exam, Q1 Solutions, Q1 problem 2.zip, Q1 P1 my ans.doc

§ Using the Keil 8051 asembler.doc, comio.zip

§ Demo Homework 7 before class next Monday.

§ If you copy the file modelsim.tcl to your VHDL source directory, it will cause the waveform background to be white instead of black. This is preferred for pasting into a document. It may be necessary to start ModelSim in your source directory for this to take effect. A convenient way to do this is to set up a ModelSim shortcut that specifies a start directory. This is explained in Notes on ModelSim.doc.

§ Link to download Adept suit containing EXPORT for programming Nexys board – If you have not already done so install this software.
