FireAnt is the first third-party development board for the Efinix Trion product family. It provides an easy-to-use development platform for FPGA makers and hobbyists. Powered by the Efinix Trion T8, FireAnt is ready to use with just a PC and no extra components required. The breadboard- friendly design allows for fast application deployment with sensors, peripherals, or other interfaces. It’s the perfect solution for manufacturers to prototype their projects or digital design students to learn FPGA development using the new Efinix platform quickly. The power/performance/size advantages of the Trion T8 FPGA also make it ideal for edge IoT applications.

An out-of-box demo firmware is pre-loaded onto FireAnt. The firmware is actually a 4-bit counter with configurable counting speed. Press BTN1 to accelerate, while BTN2 is to decelerate. Besides validating the board peripheries (PLL, buttons and LEDs) are working, the out-of-box demo can give insight into what an HDL looks like when you check out the quick start guide. Please see the GIF animation demo below:

The Efinity Software is a user-friendly IDE for development with the Trion FPGA. It provides a complete tool flow throughout the whole RTL development process, from synthesis, place-and-route (PNR), to timing analysis and bitstream generation. The tool also comes with a command-line interface (CLI) and Tcl command console. It supports Verilog and VHDL and is available on Windows and Linux (Ubuntu/Red Hat Enterprise/CentOS) platforms.
