Conclusions

In light of the work presented in this dissertation, the following conclusions can be draw:

 

  1. A reconfigurable design was successfully developed

  2. The design is fully parameterizable, and can be generated by using simple parameters and compiler directives

  3. The integration of peripherals in the design is straightforward making it easily updated

  4. The capability of integrate custom blocks makes the project more customizable and takes it to another level of personalization

  5. The language developed to configure the project is simple and easy to use allowing users without hardware design knowledge take advantage of the reconfigurability of an FPGA

  6. The script automates the whole project and bitstream generation making it simpler to use

  7. The API tools developed as well as the include.h file provided makes the interaction with the peripherals easy and elegant.

  8. The hardware project can be used in another FPGA with simple changes.
