We’re excited to announce the final milestone in our commitment to open sourcing the TinyBeast design and its associated firmware and software. The simple application described in this update demonstrates direct and DMA access to TinyBeast’s LSRAM and DDR4 memory.

By providing this comprehensive package, we’ve empowered enthusiasts like you to:

• Develop custom firmware tailored to your specific needs.
• Create powerful host software to interact with the TinyBeast board.
• Unlock the full potential of this compact but powerful PolarFire FPGA board.

Download the source code today from our GitHub repository.

This sample application serves as a valuable starting point for your own FPGA-based projects. Explore the possibilities such as:

• Accelerating data-intensive tasks like processing high-speed data streams from sensors.
• Building complex processing pipelines by directly implementing algorithms on the FPGA for parallel processing power.
• Boosting system responsiveness by offloading data transfers to the DMA engine, freeing up the CPU for other tasks.
• Designing innovative embedded systems with TinyBeast as a key building block.

With this announcement, we’ve fulfilled our promise to provide a fully open-source platform for FPGA development. We encourage you to dive deep into the possibilities and consider how you can leverage TinyBeast’s power to create groundbreaking solutions.
