I stopped updating this blog because I had an interview for my dream job. It required a lot of studying so I had no time to move the auto tune project forward.
I was really close to landing the job but it fell through. After some reflection I think it is best that I take up a pure verification project. The auto tune project is cool but it pulls my attention in too many directions (RTL, Signal Processing algorithms, etc).
I'm probably going to take a project from open cores and write a UVM testbench around it. This way I can focus more on the skills that I am trying to sell. Maybe one day I can complete the auto tune project but for now it's being retired.
