June 29, 2021: With Microchip offering a whole new silicon implementation of an FPGA-SoC, for the first time combining RISC-V processing cores and low-power FPGA fabric, we couldn’t resist to become early adopters of this exciting technology. See how it went at the Mi-V Summit on July 21/22, 2021. https://www.microchip.com/en-us/about/events/mi-v-virtual-summit-conference
WhizniumSBE
The Open Source “Service Builder’s Edition“ generates a fully-featured source code tree for your embedded / IIoT project based on a fine-grained model description. Included are database, embedded Linux service and WebUI/API access.
WhizniumDBE
The “Device Builder’s Edition“ extends the advantages of WhizniumSBE to the world of FPGA's by providing RTL code down to state machine level. A project-specific interface-agnostic library for host system access is generated along.
Whiznium Resources
Key Advantages
● Slash embedded software development time by up to 70% *)
● All time-consuming development tasks which may not be the core features of your high-tech product – Whiznium handles them for you.
● Whiznium knows Embedded: it injects expert knowledge on FPGA’s, databases, secure communications and more into your project.
● And what’s best: all code is in plain sight for your developer team – no closed source libraries are required.
● Your gain is sustained: Whiznium ensures well-structured and clean source code trees for feature-rich applications.

PHOTONICS+ June 2021 Edition
June 22, 2021: MPSI has its origins in helping complex system integration tasks in the Photonics context. As an EPIC member, we are happy to e-meet at this summer’s online event on June 29/30, 2021. https://photonicsplus.com/
At the request of a customer, we put both Whiznium tools to work and got a cool IIoT project off the ground in record time, from FPGA-based data acquisition to cloud back-end! The FabSight project illustrates nicely why turning to Whiznium for a complex embedded software project instantly pays off…
