Securing the supply of COTS FPGA modules.

Below is a video presentation that was given at the recent FPGA Front Runners event by Flemming Christensen, our CEO. He presents a brief history of Sundance and then gives details on ‘How to secure supply of ‘COTS’ FPGA Modules’.

The event covered the challenges in ensuring an FPGA is secure and demonstrably safe as per the relevant industry safety standards. This includes supply chains, FPGA hardware and the IP used on the FPGA.

Six industry-leading experts delved into critical topics such as securing FPGAs beyond the bitstream, FPGA requirements tracking, and DevSecOps for FPGA development pipelines.

  Sundance COTS presentation, November 2024

Sundance Multiprocessor Technology Ltd. was founded in 1989 and has thousands of man-years of experience operating as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). We offer a range of Commercial-of-the-shelf (COTS) boards for a broad range of customers.
We have in-house manufacturing equipment for electronics boards and full test facilities. We run an ISO9001 Quality System to monitor all processes and have done so since 1999.

VCS³Probably the smallest Single Board Computer based on an AMD Zynq MPSoC

Available to view at the FPGA Front Runners show was our recently released VCS³, an ultra-compact, low-power, Vision, Control and Sensors Solution for Precision Robotics.

The VCS³ is a small Single-Board-Computer with an AMD© ZYNQ™ device with integrated ARM CPUs and FPGA fabric. Measuring just 30mm x 50mm, this tiny workhorse can be placed almost anywhere, opening up the benefits of FPGAs to many more applications.

The VCS³ utilises an AMD UltraScale+ MPSoC coupled with high-speed LP-DDR4 memory to produce a highly compact evaluation platform. Together with four digital camera interfaces, a 9-axis IMU, and a CAN-Bus interface, this platform is ideally suited for autonomous machines, cameras or automation. Device booting can be from SPI ROMs or eMMC flash, with no bulky, fiddly or unreliable SD cards. Numerous onboard power rails are generated from a single external 5V supply, or via a USB3 Type-C interface.
