On “Career advice and education questions thread”

I wanted to write this post as a PSA for those who are junior/entry-level engineers starting the interview rounds for some of the top tech companies. I have interviewed at Tesla, SpaceX, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Lyft Level 5, Wyze labs, Cruise, and Nvidia between September 2020 and January 2021 and landed at Microsoft. For reference, I worked on an interrupt-driven embedded platform for a year prior to starting interviews, and have a Computer Engineering degree. What was helpful during interviews: \- Understanding these topics inside and out are foundational going into interviews \- Heap vs. stack memory allocation \- Cache Mapping and Hierarchy \- Endianness \- Data structure alignm…

On “Any good tutorials for using rs232 communication between pc and fpga board?”

I have the "Nandland" board (based on the Lattice ICE40 HX1K FPGA), so I use the Lattice toolchain They have a good tutorial here: link to this video and link to this video has some VHDL code That I used for my RS-232 stuff. It's general enough that you should be able to make it work for your FPGA There's a bunch of FPGA RS232 videos on Youtube link to this video
