Efinix FPGA Solution Day 2025 Recap

What stood out most about this year’s FPGA Solution Day compared to previous years?

IP providers were impressed by the number of participants, motivating them to support more Efinix solutions.
Attendees appreciated the event since FPGA-focused events are becoming less common.
More presentations, more in-depth talks.
More examples to discuss.

Did you notice a clear theme or trend across the sessions?

Strong interest in our AI solutions.
RISC-V and AI.
Customers evaluated our TinyML offering.
Interest in small FPGAs with SERDES and many user I/Os.
Growing interest in the Cyber Resilience Act.

What technical questions came up most frequently?

FPGA fabric details, SERDES, dynamic reconfiguration questions.
How Sapphire SoC can be adapted to specific requirements; flexibility was highlighted.
“Can you script your tool?” → Yes, via Python scripting
“Do you need a software license?” → No, just register and download for free
“Can the HP Quad RISC-V run at lower frequencies?” → Yes, with lower power consumption
Questions about transitioning from other vendors to Efinix — especially around power and performance — which we offer support for.

What did you learn about what customers are prioritizing in FPGA solutions today?

Power and cost.
Need for small FPGAs with multiple user I/Os and SERDES.
Desire for a combination of performance, integration, and flexibility.
Longevity, pricing, and long-term relationships with vendors.

Did attendees show interest in adopting or transitioning to Efinix devices?

Yes — many questions were specific (Ethernet, MIPI, SERDES, PCIe).
Many attendees plan to use Efinix products soon.
Some visited specifically to speed up project progress.
Strong interest in free software and low-power FPGA options.

How did attendees respond to the partner sessions?

Partner sessions helped present a full picture of ecosystem offerings.
Simulation partners (Aldec, Mentor/Siemens) were especially valuable.
Attendees appreciated having a strong ecosystem around an FPGA provider.

What does this event highlight about Efinix’s direction moving forward?

Focus on mid-range FPGAs with high performance and low power consumption.
The rapidly growing ecosystem.
Continued improvements in our software flow.
Efinix becoming a stable long-term partner in the FPGA market.
