FPGAs Are Moving Beyond Prototyping


Listen Later

If you look at the way people have used FPGAs, they are a miracle product in many ways. -Mark Oliver

Our guest Mark Oliver, VP of marketing at Efinix talks about the evolving role of FPGAs in the industry beyond prototyping. Mark will give us a very insightful use of FPGA as an efficient custom silicon solution and will go deep on the importance of RISC-V for processor designs.

Show Highlights:

  • Introduction to Efinix, an FPGA company
  • Mark starts off by addressing the inefficient ways designers use FPGAs and how this has helped them develop a product that can be utilized from prototyping and straight to high-volume manufacturing
  • Efinix FPGAs are cost-effective, low-power, and small-form efficient for custom silicon solution
  • The common FPGAs integration including the SIP (Session Initial Protocol) implementation
  • FPGA market is set to explode because it is going in the same direction as the current industry growth
    • they  are designed as mid-volume production solutions with the potential for scalability
  • Given that the industry is dominated by software engineers Efinix moves its course to RISC-V processor integration
    • What is RISC-V and why it is so important for processor design, specifically for FPGAs?
  • FPGAs already offer great benefits and there will be more to come
