    This document describes a final year project to create a web-based FPGA lab. Key aspects include: 1) Developing a PHP website to allow users to upload Verilog/VHDL files and control virtual switches to communicate with an FPGA board. 2) Implementing live video streaming of the hardware output using UStream. 3) Automating the file dumping and loading process on the FPGA board through a batch file executed via FTP. 4) Programming dip switches and buttons on the FPGA board using an Arduino Mega 2560. The website and remote lab functionality were tested and further enhancements are suggested to provide more advanced features and custom time slices for users.

    INTRODUCTION

    • A remote laboratory for FPGA

    • Use of web application for uploading files

    • Dumping Verilog/VHDL code through batch file execution

    • Communication of user with FPGA through virtual switches

    • Live video streaming of hardware and output through


    UStream

    2
    LITERATURE REVIEW

    • Remote labs introduced in the early 21 s t Century,


    gaining the most popularity in USA and Germany

    • Introduced and deployed in several universities:


    i. OpenLabs Electronics Laboratory by BIT
    ii. Laboratories without Borders by UOT
    iii. UTS Remote Labs by UTS
    iv. iLabs by MIT

    • FPGA focused remote labs by University of Duesto and


    McGill University, Canada, among others

    WEBSITE FUNCTIONALITY

    • PHP Website for the communication between server


    and client

    • Website is divided into three portions:


    i. File Uploading
    ii. Switching Function
    iii. Video Streaming

    • Connection with MySQL database


    6
    SESSION TIME OUT

    • Time assigned 15 minutes.

    • One user at a time for accessing FPGA board

    • If someone present, error is generated.

    7
    WEBSITE LAYOUT

    • Index Page
    • SignUp: Client registers to the website.
    • SignIn: User logins his account.

    • Home Page
    • Redirection from Index Page.
    • Project described precisely.

    • About Page
    Details about our team members provided.
    8
    WEBSITE LAYOUT

    • Lab Page
    • File Uploading
    • Switching Function
    • Video Streaming

    • Manuals Page: Manuals uploaded for the users.

    • Contact Page: Users can contact for any queries.

    9
    DEPLOYMENT

    • Control Panel of Website: cp.virtualfpgalab.com

    • File manager  upload browse  filename 


    upload  unzip

    • Databases  MySQL 5.x  create User create


    database  import database

    10
    UPLOADING OF FILE TO WEBSERVER

    • Constraints on uploading of files

    • Size of the file

    • Permanent file in folder

    11
    DOWNLOADING FILE & AUTOMATION ON
    SERVER COMPUTER

    • File that is uploaded on the website will be


    downloaded on server via FTP over the internet

    • For automating the process of file dumping on


    FPGA, we had the following options:

    i. Batch file execution


    ii. MoveItFreely
    iii. PowerShell

    FPGA
    14
    Connection of Dip Switches & Push
    CONNECTION
    Buttons OF BUTTONS

    • Buttons on XSA board not accessible; used the buttons and


    dipswitches on the XST board

    15
    ARDUINO PROGRAMMING

    • Implemented using serial ports on localhost

    • Used Arduino Ethernet Sheild and RJ45 cable for web


    access

    • Arduino Ethernet shield connects Arduino to Internet using


    Wiznet W1500 Ethernet chip

    16
    LIVE VIDEO STREAMING

    • Ustream for streaming live output

    • Required sign up on the website

    • Video can be embedded on the website and


    displayed to clients

    17
    17
    MILESTONES ACHIEVED

    • Website in PHP
    1 • Video streaming through UStream

    • Automation of loading bit stream


    2 into the FPGA

    • Programming the switches through


    3 Arduino Mega 2560

    18
    18
    POSSIBLE ENHANCEMENTS

    Allowing access to more functionalities to


    users

    Enhancement of website, providing advance


    features

    Customizing time slices according to usage


    of client, allowing to continue if session
    interrupted, etc.
