@VicidominiLab Dear author, thanks for this submission. I am the AEiC on this track and here to help process the initial steps. Before we proceed, please can you have a look at the following points:

• Please study the above reference check ☝️ and see if you can address any of the reported potential DOI issues. You can add/amend DOI entries in your .bib file, and call @editorialbot check references here to check them again.
• Your project appears to lack contributing guidelines at the moment. Please work to add these and to mention/link to them in your README. You could for instance create a CONTRIBUTING.md file (see here for some examples: https://contributing.md/example/).

Finally I see this work features hardware requirements. I need to point out that although we have successfully reviewed/published software works that link with specialised hardware in the past, we have also seen severe difficulties in finding reviewers or completing the reviews fully which in some cases has led to the papers ending up retracted. So, since this work appears to require particular NI FPGA's, I just want to add a word of warning that finding reviewers may take long or be unsuccessful altogether, and that the review process may take longer than usual. The success strongly depends on how clear and well documented your package is in terms of what the hardware requirements are and how to set everything up for testing. If you feel these aspects are in good shape that is great, if not, then pushing now for these to be extended would be a good idea. Further more, when asked by the editor, it would be really helpful if you could help suggest any potential reviewers (provided there is no conflict of interest).
So in short, hardware related submissions in JOSS are possible, however they can be tricky, so keep that in mind. Thanks.
