IntroductionThe heart is a muscular organ

that beats in rhythm to pump blood through the body

By analyzing the heart behavior and especially the electrical impulses we can help identify heart diseases and special circumstance that require

close monitoring

1st Command

2nd Command

Additional Data

Operation Commands (ex: RDATAC, Rreg, Wreg, Standby, Reset, ect’..)

Optional: Second Byte for (Rreg, Wreg) and sample interval for RDATAC command.

Data for commands

• FIFO Size: 512 Bytes.• Stores Instruction and Sampled data.• Data structure on Instruction case:

Test MethodologiesOperation of the ECG Controller:

◦Checking that states change are at time◦Checking control signals & data signals

between units◦Non existing commands

NOTE: When a transaction is executed the wishbone “stall” signal is raised to ‘High’, So other requests will remain pending at the Rx Wishbone Master.

ECG Controller TB Data FlowWe have implemented a special closed

component for Testing.

DB mockingWe have implemented a component that is

imitating the TI DB behavior.

Problems in developing process

Meet timings requirements of the TI Evaluation board.

Keep the projects specifications and requirements while adding more logic to the top arch.

Debug and testing of thewhole implemented logic.

Conclusions

We learned a lot about the developing process & the importance of good planning a head

The importance of working organized

How much good documentation of previous project is important
