      FPGA Full System Stacks (FFSS)

      “When Wall Street wanted to program computers without having computer programmers, they invented the spreadsheet!” – This was our spirit when we came up with the FPGA Full System Stack: Make building FPGA-based systems easier for engineers without expert knowledge in FPGA design.

      Why An FPGA Full System Stack?

      For compute-intensive, time-critical applications in Automotive, Aerospace/Defence, Industrial/Scientific/Medical, FPGAs are often the choice. However, programming FPGAs, particularly those System-on-Chip (SoC) FPGA with embedded CPUs, has long been considered complex and risky.

      Integrated and pre-validated building blocks of FPGA hardware and software subsystems, which we call “FPGA Full System Stack” can greatly de-risk development and accelerate new product initiatives.

      What makes up the FPGA Full System Stack?

      Every FPGA Full System Stack comprises the following elements (top-down):

      1. Application Example Subsystems which are customizable by users based on your applications
      2. A Targeted Performance Subsystem, including one or more MLE IP-Cores
      3. A Board Support Package, with a Linux Base System and Board Part Files
      4. The FPGA device (such as the AMD VE2302, for example)
      5. A SoM (such as the TE0955, for example)
      6. A carrierboard (such as TEBF0955, for example)

      Pre-integrating and testing this complex stack gives you, the implementer the advantages:

      • You can rely on a tested and verified subsystem implementation. The concept of re-use increases design productivity while sharing the FPGA subsystem development costs and risks over many users.
      • Pre-validated FPGA IPs and Subsystems make clever use of different FPGA resources to realize a cost/performance optimized domain-specific architecture. No need for reading long datasheets or making timing closure.
      • Operating system and application software is included in the form of kernel space device drivers, user-space programmer APIs, and sometimes even complete OS images, all nicely tuned for guaranteeing the overall system’s reliability and performance.

      MLE FPGA Full Systems Stacks

      MLE and Trenz Electronics have been planning for many different FFSS to come. Our initial focus is on “embedded” platforms for performance networking and for performance storage / data acquisition based on AMD Versal AI Edge. Below are some examples.
