Nicholas Williams developed digital systems for the mealycpp/ECE3300L_Summer_2025 repository, focusing on FPGA-based lab infrastructure and feature delivery over two months. He implemented Verilog modules for hardware interaction, including a sw_led interface mapping switches to LEDs and a 7-segment display subsystem driven by a BCD counter, clock divider, and multiplexer. Williams integrated these components with Xilinx Vivado, providing XDC constraint files for both Nexys4 DDR and Nexys A7-100T boards to ensure accurate hardware mapping. He also consolidated documentation and onboarding resources in Markdown, improving lab accessibility and testability while establishing a robust baseline for future hardware/software integration.

July 2025: Delivered end-to-end Lab 5 digital system on the Nexys A7-100T, including a 7-segment display driven by a BCD counter, clock divider, 32x1 mux, and seg7 scanner, integrated in top_lab5 with a verification testbench. Added Nexys A7-100T XDC constraints to enable accurate hardware mapping and finalized Lab 4/5 documentation with a YouTube demo link; updated Lab 6 README to reflect the implemented architecture and team contributions. No major bugs were reported this month; remaining issues are minor and focus attention on further feature expansion and validation. These efforts establish a robust hardware/software integration baseline, improve testability, and demonstrate proficiency across HDL design, FPGA constraints, and project documentation.
