The article presents various architectures of remote laboratories for accessing FPGA development boards. It discusses the key aspects of infrastructure design for shared remote access to FPGAs, focusing on security, modularity, adaptability, resource reservation, virtualization and containerization. The developed solutions facilitate remote access to laboratory equipment and are applicable both in education and in industry for debugging and validating IP blocks on FPGAs.

Представлены различные архитектуры удаленных лабораторий для доступа к отладочным платам ПЛИС. Рассмотрены особенности построения инфраструктуры для удаленного доступа к стендам с отладочными платами и обеспечения безопасности, модульности, адаптивности, виртуализации, резервирования и контейнеризации. Полученные результаты позволяют обеспечить удаленный доступ к оборудованию учебных лабораторий и могут быть использованы в сфере образования, а также в производстве для отладки и тестирования сложнофункциональных блоков, синтезированных на ПЛИС.
