摘要
A new tool called Visceral VCD was utilized to replace FPGA hardware during the pandemic. Its functionality was proven utilizing multiple projects in a digital logic course. The pedagogy of the assignments is discussed in detail, as well as how the use of Visceral VCD allowed electrical and computer engineering students to complete all coursework remotely during quarantine. Use of this tool was continued after quarantine restrictions eased due to its effectiveness. Visceral VCD can be used in place of hardware for multiple hardware description languages and FPGA development environments.
