The Ecosystem
Great tools need great hardware. We're partnering with companies who share our vision: make FPGA development as accessible as Raspberry Pi, and put that power where it matters most.
Why partnerships matter
Software is worthless without hardware to run it. The best language in the world doesn't matter if engineers can't get their hands on affordable, accessible FPGA boards.
We're building more than a toolchain. We're building an ecosystem where anyone—from hobbyists to enterprises—can design, prototype, and deploy FPGA systems without vendor lock-in, proprietary toolchains, or five-figure development kits.
Pixilica LLC
The Raspberry Pi of FPGAs
Pixilica builds affordable, accessible FPGA development boards that don't require a PhD or a corporate budget. Think Raspberry Pi, but with reconfigurable hardware. Their boards run Neosyn SDK natively—write Cx code, compile, and deploy in minutes.
What they bring:
- FPGA boards priced for makers, students, and small teams
- Pre-configured with Neosyn toolchain support
- Open hardware designs and schematics
- Community-driven peripheral ecosystem
- No vendor lock-in—standard interfaces, standard tools
The vision: Anyone should be able to buy an FPGA board for the price of a nice dinner and start building custom hardware the same day. No $10K development kits. No proprietary dongles. Just hardware that works.
Brane Technologies
Heterogeneous Computing for Super Local AI
Brane specializes in heterogeneous computing solutions that combine CPU, GPU, and optional FPGA acceleration for local AI workloads. Available in workstation format or board-level solutions, their systems keep your data local—no cloud dependencies, no privacy compromises.
What they bring:
- Heterogeneous CPU/GPU/FPGA compute platforms
- Workstation and board-level form factors
- Super local AI inference—your hardware, your data
- Privacy-first architecture with no cloud dependencies
- Optional FPGA acceleration with Neosyn SDK integration
- Custom accelerators designed in Cx for specific workloads
The vision: AI shouldn't require sending your data to someone else's cloud. Brane's heterogeneous computing platforms let you run models locally with the right mix of CPU, GPU, and FPGA resources— fast enough for real-time, efficient enough for edge deployment, private enough for sensitive data. When you need custom FPGA acceleration, design it in Cx and deploy with Neosyn.
The Complete Stack
Pixilica Hardware
Affordable, accessible FPGA boards that don't compromise on capabilities
Neosyn SDK & Cx
Modern development tools that make hardware design approachable
Brane AI Stack
Local AI inference that leverages custom FPGA acceleration
The result
Buy a Pixilica board. Design your custom AI accelerator in Cx. Deploy it with Neosyn SDK. Run Brane's inference stack on it. Go from idea to working hardware faster than ordering from a cloud vendor—and you own every layer of the stack.
Real-World Applications
Edge AI Devices
Deploy computer vision, natural language processing, or sensor fusion at the edge. Process data locally with custom FPGA acceleration. No cloud required.
Privacy-First Systems
Build medical devices, financial systems, or security appliances where data never leaves the device. Custom hardware. Local inference. Complete control.
Research & Education
Teach FPGA development with affordable boards and modern tools. Research custom accelerators without $50K budgets. Iterate faster than publication cycles.
Rapid Prototyping
Test hardware architectures before committing to ASIC. Validate AI model performance on real silicon. Deploy custom controllers in days, not quarters.
