The FPGA Board acts as the gateway between the Microcontroller and the I/O Board. Commands are sent from the Microcontroller via SPI to the FPGA which then actuates the I/O Board accordingly. The addition of this FPGA allows for greatly expanded I/O capacities, redundant control in case of failure of the Microcontroller, and distribution of responsibilities away from the Microcontroller.
