“…While integrating FPGAs onto the IoT is far from a trivial task, FPGAs have a variety of uses and implementations as an IoT device [14][15][16][17][18][19]. IoT ready FPGAs are currently being utilized for online methods digital image processing, smart grid energy management, managing complex timing systems, broadcasting video recording solutions, data encryption, medical diagnoses and monitoring, and storage system solutions [14].…”

Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are relatively high-end devices that are not easily shared between multiple users. In this work, we achieved a remotely accessible FPGA framework using accessible Internet of Things (IoT) approaches. We sought to develop a method for students to receive the same level of educational quality in a remote environment that they would receive in a typical, in-person course structure for a university-level digital design course. Keeping cost in mind, we are able to combine the functionality of an entry-level FPGA and a Raspberry Pi Zero to provide IoT access for laboratory work. Previous works in this field allow only one user to access an FPGA at a time, which requires students to schedule time slots. Our design is unique in that it gives multiple users the ability to interact simultaneously with one individual top-level design on an FPGA. This novel design has the benefit for classroom presentations, collaboration and debugging, and eliminates the need for restricting student access to a time slot for FPGA access. Further, our hardware wrapper is lightweight, utilizing less than 1% of tested FPGA chips, allowing it to be integrated with resource-heavy designs. The application is meant to scale with large designs; there is no difference between how many users can interact with the remote design, regardless of the complexity of the design. Further, the number of users who can interact with a single project is limited only by the bandwidth restrictions imposed by Google Fire Base, which is far beyond any practical number of users for simultaneous access.
