Towards remote monitoring and reconfiguration of FPGA-based controllers using IOPT-Tools

IOPT-Tools is a tool chain framework that supports controllers’ specification through Petri net models, models’ validation, and automatic generation of C and VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) code. Additionally, this framework supports the remote control and monitoring of embedded controllers that were implemented using the automatically generated C code. This paper presents an ongoing work where IOPT-Tools will be extended to support the remote control and monitoring of FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) based controllers. Additionally, the IOPT-Tools will be also extended to support the remote reconfiguration of FPGA-based controllers, enabling their adaptation to new application requirements.
