Conner Oisu engineered hardware and software integration for a MIPS-like processor in the conneroisu/sfhw-proj2 repository, focusing on pipeline architecture, test automation, and maintainable code structure. He implemented and refactored VHDL modules such as ALU, barrel shifter, and branch units, ensuring style guide compliance and robust testbench coverage. Leveraging skills in VHDL, Go, and Python, Conner streamlined build automation, repository hygiene, and CI/CD workflows, while enhancing documentation and developer tooling. His work emphasized modularity, code readability, and testability, resulting in a maintainable codebase that supports future development and reliable hardware-software co-design in digital logic projects.

November 2024: Delivered a comprehensive set of hardware design improvements, test automation, and repository hygiene enhancements in conneroisu/sfhw-proj2 that advance pipeline readiness, reliability, and maintainability. Key features delivered include header program improvements with tests and logging; Stage_idex core enhancements with forwarding signals, forward unit scaffolding, and testbench groundwork; D flip-flop merged into the structural definition; integration of the generic muxNtM component and its stage_idex integration; addition of top-level pipeline modules (ALU, barrel shifter, and fetch) and persistence of stage progress across runs. LSP tooling updates for VHDL support and strategy-style documentation were completed to improve developer experience. Extensive test automation and scripting improvements (test scripts, run-all.sh centralization, and Makefile consolidation) significantly speed up validation. Comprehensive repo hygiene and documentation updates reduced noise and clarified structure for future work.
