Embien's FPGA development spans RTL design, SoC FPGA design, and the Linux or RTOS drivers that make an FPGA board usable in a real product — custom FPGA solutions built by a team that has shipped antenna front-end controllers, SoC FPGA platforms, and PCIe driver stacks, not just simulation testbenches.
A lot of FPGA development stalls at the vendor reference design: a working demo that never quite becomes a shipping product. Embien builds custom FPGA solutions the rest of the way — RTL architecture, timing closure, board-level integration, and the device drivers an operating system needs to actually talk to the fabric.
That matters most in SoC FPGA design, where a hard processor core and programmable logic have to share memory, interrupts, and a boot sequence without fighting each other. Our FPGA development has covered an antenna front-end (AFE) controller for a defense radar system, a uCLinux-powered SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA design, and PCIe Linux driver development for an FPGA card — production hardware, not slideware. Explore our FPGA design services for the full engineering scope. Whether the target is a standalone FPGA, a hybrid SoC FPGA design with a hard processor core, or an FPGA card that needs to plug into an existing PCIe system, our FPGA development process starts with the same question: what does this board need to do in the field, not just on the bench.
Four things engineering teams evaluate before committing an FPGA development program to a partner.
VHDL/Verilog architecture, synthesis, and timing closure for custom FPGA solutions across Xilinx, Intel, and Microsemi/Microchip devices.
Hard-core processor and programmable-logic integration — memory maps, interrupts, and boot sequencing for SoC FPGA design done right the first time.
Device drivers and BSP work so an operating system can use the FPGA fabric as more than an unreachable black box.
RTL through board bring-up under one roof, so custom FPGA solutions don't stall between an RTL vendor and a hardware vendor.
Verilog/VHDL design with simulation-based verification before it ever reaches silicon.
Rapid prototyping and emulation to de-risk custom FPGA solutions before board spin.
FPGA-based acceleration for signal processing and high-throughput data paths.
Full-cycle FPGA development spanning SoC FPGA design and the embedded software layered on top.
Claims about FPGA development are easy to make. Here's one that shipped: an FPGA-based controller for an antenna front-end (AFE) system, engineered for a defense radar application where timing and reliability weren't negotiable. It's the same RTL and SoC FPGA design discipline behind our uCLinux-powered Microsemi SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA system design and our Linux driver development for an FPGA PCIe card — three different FPGA development programs, one consistent engineering approach.
FPGA design is the process of describing digital logic in a hardware description language (VHDL or Verilog), then synthesizing and configuring it onto a field-programmable gate array so the chip performs a custom function — from signal processing to a full SoC FPGA design with an embedded processor core.
