To alleviate development of FPGA-based accelerator function units for software engineers, the OpenPOWER Accelerator Work Group has recently introduced the CAPI Storage, Network, and Analytics Programming (SNAP) framework. However, we found that software engineers are still overwhelmed with many aspects of the novel hardware development framework. This paper provides background and instructions for mastering the first steps of hardware development using the CAPI SNAP framework. The insights reported in this paper are based on the experiences of software engineering students with little to no prior knowledge about hardware development.
