    The document discusses an FPGA remote laboratory shared between the University of Navarre (UPNA) in Spain and the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil. The remote laboratory allows students at both universities to access real FPGAs located on the internet. It contains 17 FPGA devices deployed between the two universities. Students can access the devices transparently through the LabsLand platform. This sharing of resources provides automatic fault tolerance and increases the number of concurrent students who can access the laboratories. The goal was to evaluate how remote laboratories could help teach FPGA design using VHDL and Verilog more effectively by increasing access and reducing costs compared to traditional in-class FPGA boards.

    FPGA Remote Laboratory: Experience of a

    Shared Laboratory between UPNA and UNIFESP

    Abstract—For teaching hardware design, FPGAs are a powerful technology, where students can learn how to design
    hardware using common hardware description languages such as VHDL or Verilog. However, the use of FPGAs in the
    classroom has several different problems, such as availability or associated costs of acquiring and maintaining the FPGAs,
    and relying on FPGA boards in the classroom is typically problematic because students cannot use the boards for doing
    projects after classes or during weekends. To solve this problem, remote laboratories can help allowing more flexibility to
    students. A remote laboratory is a hardware and software system that allows students to access a real FPGA located
    somewhere else on the Internet. In this article, an cross-national remote laboratory is presented. This remote laboratory has
    multiple copies (17 devices at the time of this writing) deployed both in UPNA (Spain) and UNIFESP (Brazil), and using
    LabsLand (Spain) for technology and management of the laboratory. Students of both institutions access transparently these
    laboratories, providing automatic fault tolerance and increasing the number of concurrent students using the laboratories by
    sharing the boards among both institutions.

    INTRODUCCIÓN
    I.
    UPNA is the Public University of Navarre (Spain) and UNIFESP is the Federal University of
    São Paulo (Brazil). In both universities, FPGA technologies are taught using Intel Altera boards as
    DE2-115 and DE1-SoC; and in both cases, the universities typically used regular Terasic boards in
    class. The problem with this approach are the high costs, given that it requires the university to count
    with many boards, and they are difficult to upgrade. LabsLand is a global network of real
    laboratories online, and counts with technologies for creating remote laboratories. The following
    figures shows the Web Interface to board and the structure of the platform with all remote boards and
    webcams.
    II. RESULTS ACHIEVED

    The goal of this study was to evaluate the potential of FPGA remote laboratories in classes where
    VHDL and Verilog is taught; what are the technical issues and what is the response by the students in
    class. the evaluation made to the students verifies the increase in the use of the FPGA in the designs
    and the academic improvement
