Description

We need to figure out a way to cool the FPGA since it will be installed in a confined space. Maybe we can integrate a head spreader into the housing design. A small cooling solution should suffice tho.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Design a passive heat spreader that integrates with the housing. Use thermal interface materials and consider airflow if possible. Test with thermal imaging.
