Popis: The Covid-19 pandemic caused a situation in which both educators and students had to adapt as soon as possible, and a new educational context known as distance learning has become a daily routine for teaching all courses. However, some courses were easily adapted to the new type of learning, while for some courses it was very difficult to provide an efficient online teaching concept. This was especially true for engineering courses such as digital systems design, which requires working in laboratories and performing live demonstrations on digital systems and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) boards. One of the biggest problems was that the students did not have access to the boards as they were physically located in the labs. It is not easy for students to buy the equipment for their learning purposes, as the boards are specialized and costly. The idea of this paper is to provide an overview of how researchers in the current state-of-the-art have approached this problem and how they applied distance learning methods to implement systems for students to access remote FPGA boards. Several methods for remote lab implementations were found and described and contrasted by comparing their advantages and disadvantages. Finally, a conclusion is drawn, taking into account potential directions that could be further explored as future work, not only as a tool for practical emergency situations, but also as an additional for in-person teaching.
