A number of students have reported that pressing F9 does not invoke the Verilog compiler, instead an error message appears complaining about [f9] being unmapped. I would like to fix it but I'm not yet able to reproduce the problem, so if you're suffering from this issue read on.

One reason this might happen is that either setup was not run, or it was and something disturbed the .emacs file that setup creates. This applies to you if, when editing hw01.v, you don't see an EE 4755 menu and the mode line isn't purple (background) and gold (foreground). If so exit Emacs, run /home/faculty/koppel/pub/ee4755/bin/setup again and then run Emacs again. Let me know if that doesn't fix the problem.

If you do see the EE 4755 menu and F9 still does not work when visiting a .v file please let me know. (On some keyboards you might need to press and hold a function modifier key before pressing F9.)

As most people reading this probably know LSU has announced that classes are to be held remotely on Wednesday and Thursday (11 and 12 September 2024). One can assume LSU did not intend that classes be held while winds are howling, blown items are crashing, and lights are flickering. Because EE 4755 is from 11:30-12:20, strong winds will likely not be a problem, but if the current forecast holds some of us may be busy securing outdoor furniture and engaged in other storm-prep efforts at that time. For that reason class may or may not will not be held. A decision will be made by 22:30 tonight (Tuesday, 10 September). Zoom information will be E-mailed later today.
