Firmware
Today we started looking at the VHDL firmware programs from Ben Raydo at JLab. Our goal: To determine what the general description of the firmware program is and determine an outline of its functionality.
Quartus II
Quartus II has a fairly good tutorial for usage. My goal is to complete this tutorial by the end of the week.
I also started to familiarize myself with the VHDL programming language.

Spent vast majority of day learning VHDL syntax.
Spent some time reviewing the GEM Readout Controller Firmware Status
Spent some time reviewing the v1495 instruction manual
Spent some time reviewing the VFAT instruction manual
