Hi Daixiwen
thanks for the comments. Yeah, FPGA reads as a good feature set.
Since that post, I've read a bunch of reviews and options and forum discussion I have read lead me to think I should avoid it ....
My stuff is low volume , time expensive so I dont want the tools crashing. I'm used to the best tools , though they all suck to some degree.
I'll stick with the Ultrascale+ MPSoC / Spartan 7 / AU7P
You know what it's like- there is alot invested in knowing the device..... The MPSoC is a beast to know. There didnt seem to be as much doco on the Polarfire SoC as I would expected there needed to be.
There is a big step up in XIlinx device cost when going to any sort of SoC with 10 Gbit transceivers, mainly because their mid tier stuff has all 6 Gb transceivers.
I use mostly ZU2CG, has 4 x 6Gb transceivers. But I've been sniffing around for devices that handle 10 Gb ethernet easily.
I've also been evaluating and done a couple of designs with Efinix Titanium. and we're still waiting for the Ti375, at least the pinout of the 1152 BGA device with 16 x 12 Gbit transceivers is out..... That's a killer if the place and route tools can improve.
Local support here in Australia is good for Microchip, Like you say, the Polarfire FPGA devices are good.
