However, many of these systems offer only limited FPGA functionalitiesand impose restrictions on students’ access time to the hardware. Typically, these systems involvea lab station or server set up within the laboratory, enabling students to connect through a privatenetwork. For instance, researchers at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru implemented asystem where a camera displays the FPGA’s physical output to students [8].Three main methods have emerged for implementing remote FPGA lab systems.
