Hobby projects

• gr-bokehgui: Web based display for GNURadio [Link]
  GNU Radio, Google Summer of Code 2017 (May 2017–August 2018)

  • Implement functionality to allow remote web-based interaction with flowgraphs using Bokeh.

  • Integrated with GNU Radio companion for easy and flexible usage.

• MIPS Single Cycle Microprocessor using VHDL [Link]

  • Implemented a processor capable to run 7 basic instructions.

  • Added python script to convert assembly code to ModelSim Simulation script to provide a programming like interface to simulate the project.
