SYNAPSE — Neuromuscular Interface Chip

A custom chip project for recording and stimulating nerve/muscle signals, sensing an electrode's electrical activity and delivering safe, controlled electrical pulses back to it. Built around an analog front-end and dual-mode data converters for capturing both fast signal spikes and slow baseline drift, plus a closed-loop stimulation path with hardware-level safety limiting to keep delivered current within safe bounds.

Hi,

Thanks for opening a SoC Labs project. We have an area of the site Design Flow where we are developing material to describe the steps necessary to take a System on Chip design from initial concept to final implementation. 

The first step is Getting Started

Edit your project and click on

Add milestone button

 

Start to type getting started into the Design Flow field and it should auto populate, select.

fill in design flow fields

You can edit is later and add details in the description as you complete things. Set yourself a target date for completing it. It does not matter what you guess. Part of learning about SoC design is learning to estimate how long things will take. You learn by making estimates and then realising just how long things take, you get better the more you do it. 

By adding your first milestone a Project Tracker gets added to your project.

You can click on future milestones to see what is required and add them to your project.

You may want to look at Sydney's example project as they have some great Milestones as examples of how to add them.

Look forward to hearing from you,

John.

Thanks for adding the Getting Started milestone.

As the step says. "You should use your milestones in your project to make notes and record progress and this will help you maintain a clear Project Management plan throughout the project"

You simple edit the milestone and add notes to the text entry.

I know we have started to discuss how to establish your "Development Environment" so you have access to Arm IP and tooling as well as Version Control systems, such as Git.

David Mapstone can help with some of this.

John.

Hi John,

Thanks for the guidance, I've got the Getting Started milestone set up and will keep adding notes there as I go to track progress.

Thanks also for the pointer on the Development Environment, I'll follow up with David to get access to Arm IP, tooling, and Git set up.

Will take a look at Sydney's project for reference on structuring milestones.

Thanks,
Nikhil
