Application for managing FPGA cards
Ostrý, Pavel ; Ilgner, Petr (referee) ; Dobiáš, Patrik (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis focuses on the management of FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) cards within the context of the VUT FEKT school system. FPGA cards are devices that enable hardware programming using programmable logic circuits, which significantly enhances the efficiency of specific tasks that requires low latency and high data throughput. Despite the growing popularity of FPGA cards, there is no graphical applications, that would enable their management in school system enviroment. The aim of this thesis is to develop an application that enables configuration, monitoring, and control of FPGA cards through a graphical user interface. The thesis is divided into ten chapters, with the first five covering the theoretical part and the remaining five focusing on practical implementation. The theoretical part includes an introduction to FPGA cards, their comparison with other similar devices, a description of their programming, and an analysis of the requirements for the final application, followed by the selection of suitable tools. The practical part concentrates on the implementation of the user interface, code structure, and the description of individual program classes and functions. The result of the work is a graphical application that meets all specified requirements and enables configuration, monitoring, and control of FPGA cards within the VUT FEKT environment. The application was developed in the Java programming language, with the graphical interface implemented using JavaFX. Communication with the FPGA card is handled using the libnfb library, which is written in C, with its functions mapped through JNA. This bachelor's thesis delivers an FPGA card management application developed based on the needs of VUT FEKT.
