Getting the Assignments

The assignments are stored in a git repository online. To get started, students will need to create a local copy of these files. This is referred to as "cloning" the repository. Students should only ever have to clone the respository once. From the command line, type the following into one of the lab computers:

 > cd ~
 > git clone https://github.com/yunghsianglu/ECE264Assignments.git

"cd ~" will change the working directory to your home directory. The line beginning with "git clone" will make a local copy of the ece264 assignments in a directory called "ECE264Assignments".

Creating a Working Copy

The assignments will be tweaked through the semester, which means that any files in ~/ECE264Assignments may be lost. For this reason, students should NOT modify files in ~/ECE264Assignments. Instead, create a copy of this directory where you can modify files without fear of losing work.

 > cp -r ~/ECE264Assignments ~/ECE264Working

Staring on Assignment 1

The Summer 2014 assignments are now located in "~/ECE264Working/Summer2014". The first assignment is in the folder "PA01". Open up that folder, read the README, which gives detailed instructions on how to get started.

Hints

Start today.
Make sure you're in the lab during office hours and ask for help.
Make sure you read, and re-read the instructions.
