In recent years the availability and quality of embedded control hardware have significantly increased. Therefore, this thesis wants to test the computational and communicational performance of the new embedded control hardware. More specifically, a combination of the raspberry pi 4 and an FPGA. To accomplish this, a demonstrator will be constructed. This demonstrator also aims to get potential students, who are visiting open-house or information days, interested in embedded software by showing them what is possible with embedded software.
In how far is it possible to develop a demonstrator using new embedded hardware, and has the embedded hardware enough computational and communicational performance for this task?
Goals:
Develop a basic working prototype demonstrator
Document the building process
Create an interesting demo for open-house or information days
Combine documentation, background and conclusions into a report
