Custom IP Core Design
Design and implementation of reusable FPGA IP blocks: AXI-streaming datapaths, register-controlled cores, packet engines, trigger modules, buffering blocks, DSP pipelines, testbenches, and integration-ready RTL.
Services
From targeted IP core design to complete FPGA system architecture
FPGA Accel can support a narrow technical problem, own a custom RTL/IP block, or help architect and implement the full FPGA subsystem around bandwidth, latency, timing closure, and lab validation.
Full FPGA System Architecture
End-to-end architecture for AMD FPGA systems, including device/IP selection, clocking, resets, data movement, memory topology, host interface, software control, observability, and implementation risk.
RTL Implementation & Timing Closure
VHDL/SystemVerilog implementation, constraints, CDC cleanup, SLR-aware partitioning, floorplanning, physical optimization, resource tradeoffs, and timing closure on large AMD FPGA designs.
AMD FPGA Expertise
Practical AMD/Xilinx platform expertise, not generic FPGA claims
FPGA Accel focuses on real engineering execution inside the AMD FPGA ecosystem: Vivado, block design, IP integrator, AMD transceiver subsystems, PCIe/QDMA, CMAC/100GbE, RFSoC-style datapaths, Versal platform architecture, and timing closure on complex devices.
Devices
7 Series, UltraScale, UltraScale+, RFSoC, Versal, and Alveo-class AMD FPGA platforms
AMD IP
QDMA/XDMA-style DMA, CMAC, Aurora, AXI infrastructure, DDR controllers, GT transceivers, CPM/NoC integration patterns
Tool Flow
Vivado architecture, IP integrator, constraints, simulation, implementation, physical optimization, ILA/debug, and board bring-up
Systems

Technical Capabilities
Capability where FPGA programs usually become difficult
The differentiator is the ability to connect architecture, RTL, AMD IP, timing behavior, software interfaces, and lab measurements into a working deliverable.
High-Throughput Data Movement
PCIe/QDMA streaming, descriptor-aware flows, AXI-stream fabrics, packet framing, DDR buffering, DMA-to-file utilities, backpressure behavior, and host/software validation.
100GbE / CMAC / Transceivers
Line-rate Ethernet integration, AMD CMAC, Aurora, GTH/GTY/GTM-based datapaths, clocking and reset sequencing, flow control, loopback, and link-level debug.
DSP, RF, and DRFM-Class Design
Digital I/Q processing, DDS/NCO design, FFT pipelines, spectral engines, trigger logic, timestamps, programmable delay, record/replay, and deterministic latency.
Embedded Linux and Control Software
Yocto-based platform work, register access utilities, user-space DMA tools, file streaming, diagnostics, and hardware/software integration support.
Architecture Review and Rescue Work
Independent review of fragile FPGA designs, timing-risk reduction, CDC/reset review, IP integration cleanup, performance bottleneck analysis, and debug strategy.
Simulation, Test, and Bring-Up
Testbenches, deterministic stimulus, data checkers, debug counters, ILA planning, hardware validation, and clean handoff documentation for engineering teams.
Selected Challenges
Representative engineering work on hard FPGA system problems
Many engagements involve proprietary or NDA-restricted systems; examples are intentionally generalized while preserving the technical nature of the work.
01
High-Throughput PCIe/QDMA Streaming
Architected host-to-FPGA and FPGA-to-host data movement using custom AXI-stream datapaths, buffering strategies, register control, and software-facing DMA utilities.
02
100GbE Packet Processing Integration
Integrated AMD CMAC-based Ethernet datapaths with custom packet processing, flow-control behavior, loopback/debug hooks, and line-rate performance considerations.
03
RFSoC and DRFM-Class Digital I/Q Pipelines
Developed deterministic DSP/RF pipelines involving DDS/NCO generation, FFT processing, trigger logic, timestamping, programmable delay, capture, and replay functions.
04
Large-Device Timing Closure
Supported UltraScale+ and Versal-class designs involving SLR-aware partitioning, floorplanning, CDC cleanup, physical optimization, and timing-risk reduction.
05
FPGA Subsystem Bring-Up and Embedded Integration
Connected RTL, AMD IP, register interfaces, embedded Linux / Yocto utilities, diagnostics, and lab measurements into coherent hardware/software validation flows.
06
Architecture Review and Rescue Work
Reviewed troubled FPGA programs for timing risk, dataflow bottlenecks, CDC/reset issues, fragile IP integration, observability gaps, and practical debug strategy.
Engagement Models
Scoped for focused technical problems or full FPGA ownership
Support can be structured as targeted custom IP core development, subsystem ownership, architecture review, risk assessment, rescue/timing-closure support, or ongoing integration and debug assistance.
Why FPGA Accel
Direct access to Principal-level FPGA execution
FPGA Accel is built for teams that need a technical owner for hard FPGA work: someone who can reason about system architecture, implement clean RTL, navigate AMD IP details, close timing, debug hardware in the lab, and communicate clearly across FPGA, software, systems, and program stakeholders.
Architecture and implementation in one place
System decisions are made by someone who also understands the RTL, timing, resource, and bring-up consequences.
AMD platform fluency
Practical experience with AMD FPGA device families, Vivado workflows, high-speed IP, transceivers, and implementation behavior.
IP-core or full-system engagement model
Support can be scoped as a focused IP core, a subsystem, an architecture review, or a full FPGA design effort.
Hardware-to-software perspective
Integration is treated as part of the design, from AXI registers and DMA utilities to lab validation and customer delivery.
