Hello, I am a hardware designer that uses microcontrollers and FPGAs for instrument electronics. We want some of our instruments to have a web interface for control and data collection. Our microcontrollers are 64-bit Arm processors that boot and run full Linux, Apache, … The microcontrollers talk to the FPGA logic through a memory mapped API and we have a C language API on top of that.
I am a neophyte web developer who has played with HTML, CSS and a dab of javascript. For our application we want a nice web UI for control and data display. We also need the ability to read and write logic at the register level. I think this means we need AJAX and maybe Node.js for client and server side code. We want this to become the standard platform for our instruments.
Is Django a good place to start with these goals? What additional tools would you recommend?
