Your final project report should follow the guidelines below. It should be written to the level of a student entering CSE477 (as you were at the beginning of the quarter). It should contain all the information necessary to reproduce your results. That is, a new 477 student should be able to modify your project based on your report with a minimum of fuss and trouble. It would be especially nice if tutorial information about specific devices and/or interfaces and how to deal with them is placed in a a separate appendix so that it can be easily distributed to future students. Your reports may be provided to future classes to help them get started on their projects.  I prefer short reports to long reports, but it's a lot harder to write good, short reports.

Introduction - 2-3 pages
    A high-level description of your project, including an overview of the system architecture.
    Use figures liberally.

Design description - 2-4 pages
    Go into some detail on the implementation of your project.  Remember, I'm going to have to understand it

    You've already done a lot of this for the Design Review.

Commentary and Retrospective - 1-2 pages
    Describe the final status of the project.
    What did you learn?  What advice do have for other designers trying to build similar projects?
    How would you design the project knowing what you know now?

    Slides from you project presentation
    Design schematics with documentation
    Verilog listings with documentation
    Microcontroller program listings with documentation
    Complete and detailed operating and testing instructions
