This report describes the implementation of a program which will facilitate the learning process of students to modules like [Digital System Design], [Computer architecture] or any modules whose purpose is to introduce the topic of Digital Circuit. The main aim of this project is to show that learning process can be improved by making the software more beginner-friendly and by preventing inaccessibility due to the incompatibility of the software. A JAVA application was implement and ran on top of Xilinx to extract the most relevant information for students who are doing the introductory modules. By doing so, the user will not be overwhelmed by the information generated by Xilinx. This application also enables the users to have remote access to the software, thus enabling students the ability to use the software whenever and wherever they are. This application was made possible using an Ubuntu operating system, Xilinx TCL Shell, TCL, SSH and SFTP.
