Draft Project Proposal

Brieﬂy describe the project you want to implement. The basic guideline is that your project should incorporate at least

one MicroBlaze processor and a hardware block of your own design.

Give a list of functional requirements and features.

Provide enough details so that you can discuss your proposal with a TA and so that the TA can give you some

feedback on whether it might be too hard, too easy or does not meet the course requirements. This can be very rough

and even in point form. A few sketches of block diagrams will usually help explain your ideas much more easily. You

might do this work on a napkin, but it might be better to copy it onto another piece of paper so that it is easier to read!
