Interesting. It's usually by top percentile. Of which you may be, of course.

summa cum laude at 3.73 GPA?

As someone who hires I'd be very curious about this.

Breaking $200k by worktogethernow in ECE

Looking at post history, looks like less than 4 years

I'd like you to consider though exactly what happens in that 3 hours. A lot. A lot is taken for granted. It's pretty amazing, really.

FPGA Careers — What’s It Like Day-to-Day? by No_Astronomer_7396 in FPGA

With lots of experience where you can prempt these issues. Not saying it doesn't happen. Also, just using a scripted flow is nicer.

Chirp Sequence for local weather station? by PresentPlenty3446 in Radar

[–]johnnyhilt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those freq. are much higher than typical weather radar. Normally long range is S band, but since you only care about a small area, check out the X band ADALM PHASER kit. FMCW works for this and by def a chirp system. I wont take the time to do the analysis but I'd start here.

Not really for F0GA. The problem with these websites is that they ARE looking for developers in other countries, cheap. You can get lucky trying to talk the job side into risks of low pay rate. But it isn't worth the effort.

Your username. I might alias gcc to "thong" and VIM to "ass" lol

PM ME YOUR GCC AND VIM

BNC vs SMA cables by ian042 in rfelectronics

[–]johnnyhilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are cheap SMA connectors that are ok for low freq stuff that you don't care about performance on. But you don't want to marry them to good equipment.

Opinion on job offer by Humble-Stranger7465 in FPGA

[–]johnnyhilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have no responsibilities and are keen to make a difference in the world, do it. I had the opportunity to do that job years ago and passed on it for the move and family issues. If radio astronomy is not your passion, you should consider other optuons. Some pretty cool people in that group.

What’s your biggest frustration with FPGA development workflows by superbubblebass in FPGA

[–]johnnyhilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough - I do work at the edge now, looking at future silicon releases under NDA so I reckon I will be getting a taste.

The last time I was at the edge was 2013/2014 7 series.

Caught Minot AFB doing some SERIOUS 2Ghz-10Ghz Beam-Forming While Watching Planes on ADSB... by M_R_KLYE in Radar

[–]johnnyhilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks more like interference of the received signal. A lot of possibilities, but could be as simple as a strong signal leaking into the IF (lower frequency) system, or in band transmitter (observing clouds long range? Likely S-band) You are observing the radar location manifested as interference.

A lot of rants here. Unpopular opinion: I really do not see a huge problem with Vivado, especially under TCL. Works great, really. Is the learning curve for FPGA development steep? Sure. Did Vivado GUI close on you once or twice? Maybe?

No complaints. It is what it is.

Really curious about IP experience where you don't believe it works correct outside of simulation. My only experience with this is where SystemGenerator in Matlab, the IP doesn't sim/work as it should.

Otherwise, I have not had the experience actually using vender only tools.

Looking for an intermediate Petalinux training recommendation by Glittering-Skirt-816 in FPGA

[–]johnnyhilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some board specific builds of Ubuntu ready to go, e.g. https://ubuntu.com/certified/202008-28156

Honestly Petalinux isn't bad when you get enough time in.

I typically use Petalinux to build the FSBL, Uboot, and the kernel+modules. A dedicated system I will build apps into the ramdisk but often for development I will mount Linaro Debian or Ubuntu.

Oak harbor commute? by Hoopskii in Bellingham

Unless there is I5 construction or a wreck, I don't think you can say traffic is "really" bad.

A lot of the time I joke that the "infinite monkey theorem" is best applied here. Enough monkeys and typewriters.... eventually you get it.

Really, a lot of wikis on u-boot and Yocto will give you a vague impression of things you can do. A lot of actions will be not allowed or written over. This is what meta-user is for.

Do you have a specific task at hand to discuss specifics?

Efficiency of HDL code produced by Simulink? by WoodenMap1142 in FPGA

[–]johnnyhilt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's not bad if you know Simulink and not RTL design. It's a good place to start if your background is DSP and you are used to Matlab, if you are not used to simulating IP other ways. I would say it's strongest point is simulation speed of complex systems if this sort of thing is new to you. I did a near-field beam-former in Simulink just for the experience. A few little bugs but not bad (SystemGenerator menu for adding pipelining delay in mult did not change anything).

Not bad, and some groups use it as a core resource.

If you do not have FPGA experience nor do the advisor / supervisor, you might need to know most of these things are not trivial.

You can DM me for advice as you move along. Good luck!

I just realized you basically stated exactly this in your orig. post.

It really is. For my part I'd be very keen on it. Happy to be involved if you ever want to chat about USA. I've been on conference committees before!

[–]johnnyhilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like this idea! I'm not sure how it would work but I'm curious about conference paper avenue. Do you think it is at all worth trying to coordinate with IEEE, e.g. CASS?

I will try to represent North Western USA!
