Virtual FPGA boards with interactive simulations beat dry waveform viewers for teaching.

Strengths
  • •Actual classroom deployment with 120 students at WPI proves real-world viability
  • •Python-based board creation lets educators build custom simulations for assignments
  • •Interactive visual outputs (calculator, dot matrix) make abstract Verilog concepts tangible
Weaknesses
  • •Narrow audience limits adoption to ECE programs teaching digital design
  • •Established simulators like ModelSim and Vivado already serve professional workflows
