Multiprogram tools for FPGA boards with single identifier on Windows

Abstract

This paper explains the solution and tools developed to allow automated programming of multiple PYNQZ2 FPGA boards on the same Windows machine. This board uses the same internal identifier, so programming tools such as Vivado cannot differentiate between them and only reports one. Even though this is a particular problem, the use of different scripts and methods can help other researchers develop their own solutions.
