REMOTE LABORATORY FOR FPGA BASED RECONFIGURABLE SYSTEMS TESTING

Milos Drutarovsky, Jan Saliga, Linus Michaeli, Ingrid Hroncová
Abstract:
The paper presents a remote laboratory system that allows performing experiments controlled across the Internet via web interface as well as locally in the classroom. The system has been developed for courses of advanced digital design and signal processing using complex Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) platforms. It allows students full access to laboratory equipments, advanced software licenses, and FPGA platforms remotely using any common web browser and standard remote desktop interface. The system consists of Altera development FPGA kits and suitable instrumentations (Logic Analyser, Digital Oscilloscope, and Vector Signal Generator) or low cost alternative (DAQ board as a Virtual Logic Analyser, Oscilloscope and Vector Signal Generator). Both solutions use PC running an interactive LabVIEW based software including a Graphical User Interface (GUI).
