Integration of a remote lab in a software tool for digital electronics

Abstract

The combination of Boole-Deusto (software tool for digital electronics design) and WebLab-Deusto-FPGA (remote lab) allows teachers and students to complete the full design cycle in a computer in only a few minutes: from the truth table or FSM to the real implementation in a FPGA. The system described is oriented towards a first year course in digital electronics to help students and teachers when they are learning and teaching digital electronics.
