 I define an objective as the targeted final result. I usually set only ONE primary objective and optionally a secondary objective that will/should not affect your final results (though it usually gives you extra marks if completed) - too many objectives usually leads to unsatisfactory results. Meanwhile, scope visualizes how much work is expected - for example, one can say that the primary objective is to design an 8-bit microprocessor. So, the scope should mention maybe something like you're expected to produce schematics with instruction set that covers data transfer/processing and program control, complete with logic simulation results.  I define an objective as the targeted final result.

 +  - **Development of a Vision-based Vehicle Registration Identification System**
 +    * Description: This project is mainly software development, with real hardware implementation (Raspberry Pi platform). The main target is to implement vision-based vehicle registration identification system on real hardware. Implementation MUST BE written based on [[https://codeberg.org/azman/my1imgpro|my1imgpro]] library (i.e. libraries like OpenCV cannot be used). **//Warning://** //This project requires purchases of components/modules that may not be reimbursed by the department.//

 +^  DIGITAL SYSTEM DESIGN  ^
 +| <WRAP>
 +  - **Implementation of RISC-V Core on FPGA**
 +    * Description: This is a design project to implement a working microprocessor based on the RISC-V ISA. It involves writing HDL (Hardware Description Language) codes and simulating it on a simulation software. The final implementation needs to be fully tested and subsequently be improvised (if possible). **//Warning://** //An existing implementation is already available on the internet. Evaluation for this project will be based on progress - you need to show that you implement this on your own.//
 +    * Keyword(s): [[https://riscv.org/technical/specifications/|RISC-V]], FPGA, reconfigurable computing, microprocessor softcore
 +    * Pre-requisite: Digital Electronics, Microprocessor System, Computer Architecture
 +    * Objective: To implement custom RISC-V core on FPGA
 +    * Scope:
 +      * Milestone 1: Completed [[https://github.com/riscv/riscv-isa-manual/releases/download/Ratified-IMAFDQC/riscv-spec-20191213.pdf|basic core @RV32I]] instruction decoding (at least data movement and ALU)
 +      * Milestone 2: Completed State Machine for instruction fetch/execute cycle.
 +      * Milestone 3: Completed Testbench for all implemented modules (and verified)
 +  - **Implementation of 8051-Binary-Compatible Core**
 +    * Description: This is a design project to implement a working 8051-binary-compatible core. A similar implementation for 8085 microprocessor is available [[https://codeberg.org/azman/my1core85|here]]. It involves writing HDL (Hardware Description Language) codes and simulating it on a simulation software like ModelSim. The final implementation needs to be fully tested and subsequently be improvised (if possible). **//NOTE://** //An existing implementation is already available on the internet. Evaluation for this project will be based on progress - you need to show that you implement this on your own.//
 +    * Keyword(s): 8051, FPGA, reconfigurable computing, microcontroller softcore
 +    * Pre-requisite: Digital Electronics, Microprocessor System, Computer Architecture
 +    * Objective: To implement 8-bit microcontroller core (8051 clone) on FPGA
