Daily snippet

• still doing gitimmersion labs
• spent most of the day looking for rooms. Didn’t find a better one ;_;
• I use Windows 8.1 which is good for personal use but it doesn't run many things like the Xilinx stuff. I have multiboot setup with Windows XP (to save myself from driver signing stuff) and Ubuntu Desktop 14.04. I found today that I can connect USB devices nicely on Virtualbox VMs. Tried it, this is so cool! I don’t think I need to multiboot with Windows XP to work peacefully with hardware.
• the VM doesn’t look slow, have to see how much is the FPGA bitstream generation time on my Windows XP VM.
