<p>Bit error ratio testers are used to test the quality of signal trans-reception. They are routinely used to test boards with high-speed serial links and tune parameters so that the medium fidelity is maximized. Integrated Bit Error Rate Tester (IBERT) LogiCore is one such tool from Xilinx and is designed for testing the physical layer transmission (PMA specifically). This project aims to develop an open source equivalent of the Xilinx LogiCore which incorporates most features as detailed in its datasheet. Independent modules will be coded in python using Migen framework and libraries from LiteX will be used to prepare the communication modules, bridges, and host connections.</p>

<p>This project aims to create a run-control debug system for soft CPU core (OR1K) and add GDB to the system using Open SoC Debug Project. Run-control debugging, also known as breakpoint debugging or “stop-and-stare” debugging is the most common way of finding problems in the code. Using GNU Debugger (GDB) breakpoints can be set in the program, and one can read register or memory values, print stack traces, and much more.</p>

<p>This project aims at the development of a hardware mixer block in the HDMI2USB firmware which can implement mixing of the two input pixel stream as per the mask information. This suitable mask can be varied dynamically to create fading and wipe effects using the hardware block at a given pixel rate.</p>
