Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques are increasingly influential in High Energy Physics, necessitating effective computing infrastructures and training opportunities for users and developers, particularly concerning programmable hardware like FPGAs. A gap exists in accessible ML/DL on FPGA tutorials catering to diverse hardware specifications. To bridge this gap, collaborative efforts by INFN-Bologna, the University of Bologna, and INFN-CNAF produced a pilot course using virtual machines, inhouse cloud platforms, and AWS instances, utilizing Docker containers for interactive exercises. Additionally, the Bond Machine software ecosystem, capable of generating FPGA-synthesizable computer architectures, is explored as a simplified approach for teaching FPGA programming.
