Auto JTAG for Production Environments

JTAG is a popular interface to program FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) and SoCs (System on Chip). This student team will work to design and integrate a system that can by python scripted to remotely program an FPGA/SoC. The target device this student team will work on is a Microchip Polarfire FPGA. The stretch goal this student team will work to achieve is a boundary scan capability to program off chip memory. Design parameters and performance this student team will work to incorporate include targeting FPGA/SoC by Microchip. Specifically, this student team will work to focus on the Polarfire and Smartfusion families. Finally, this student team will work to be able to perform Python scripted target device programming operations. For this project's outcome, this student team will work to provide a software package including all source code, build packages, scripts, and final report.
