Hello TinyBeast FPGA supporters and enthusiasts!

We’re thrilled to announce the release of firmware for our TinyBeast FPGA P and S boards, featuring a PCIe endpoint with DMA capabilities. This significant development opens up new possibilities for high-speed, advanced FPGA-based embedded systems. You can download the firmware sources from our GitHub repository.

By providing a PCIe endpoint, the TinyBeast boards can now seamlessly integrate into a broader system architecture, acting as a high-performance accelerator or data processing unit. The inclusion of DMA (Direct Memory Access) functionality further enhances performance by offloading data transfers from the CPU, allowing the FPGA to focus on computationally intensive tasks.

This firmware empowers developers to:

• Accelerate data-intensive applications: Handle high-speed data streams efficiently, such as those from image sensors or high-speed ADCs.
• Create complex processing pipelines: Implement sophisticated algorithms directly on the FPGA, taking advantage of its parallel processing capabilities.
• Enhance system responsiveness: Reduce CPU load by offloading data transfers to the DMA engine.
• Explore new design possibilities: Utilize the TinyBeast as a building block for custom-tailored embedded systems.

With this firmware release, we’re providing developers with the tools they need to push the boundaries of FPGA-based system design. We invite you to explore the possibilities and leverage the power of TinyBeast to create innovative solutions.
