Project Dependencies

• PMD Microphone Implementation
  Based on the work from HDL For Beginners, this setup provides the foundation for PMD microphone integration.

• Koheron SDK
  The core stack is built using Koheron SDK, with custom modifications to enhance functionality and flexibility beyond the standard TCL framework.

• WS2812/WS2813 LED Driver
  The LED driver, adapted from Matt Venn's ws2812-core, supports both WS2812 and WS2813 LEDs used on the PCB.
