Efficient FPGA solutions
structured, documented, verified.

With more than 30 years of experience from industry, research, and academia, we develop tailored FPGA and embedded solutions, precisely planned, scientifically grounded, and implemented to the highest quality standards. Our goal: to create technologies that impress not only today, but tomorrow as well.

Our core services in detail

From the first idea to the tested and integrated embedded system, everything from a single source.

We see embedded and FPGA development as a holistic process that goes far beyond pure hardware design. At P2L2, we combine more than 30 years of experience from industry, research, and academia into a clearly structured, documented, and verified workflow. From analyzing requirements and developing tailored architectures to automated testing and full system integration, we work with an open approach to technology, a scientific mindset, and a consistent focus on long-term functionality. The result is solutions that are both technically convincing and economically sustainable.

FPGA Concept & Design

We develop FPGA architectures precisely tailored to the specific requirements of your project. We work independently of vendors and rely on both established technologies and the latest developments in embedded Linux and AI acceleration. Every solution is designed to be scalable, maintainable, and optimized for performance and resource efficiency.

Verification & Quality Assurance

We consistently rely on structured verification to ensure maximum reliability. For this, we use modern frameworks such as UVVM, VUnit, OSVVM, and Cocotb, along with automated unit, integration, and regression testing. This is complemented by formal verification, precise timing analysis, and comprehensive reporting. That way, we ensure every design meets the defined requirements and performs flawlessly under real operating conditions.

Firmware & Linux Driver Development

We develop the software required to integrate FPGA solutions seamlessly into existing systems. This includes low-level drivers, hardware abstraction layers, Linux kernel drivers, and integration into real-time operating systems. Every implementation is documented in detail and backed by unit tests to ensure long-term maintainability and stable performance.

Tooling & Automation Pipelines

We create efficient and scalable development environments that automate the entire workflow and make it reproducible. To do this, we use scripting in Python, TCL, Perl, or C++, implement continuous integration processes with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, or Jenkins, and integrate Docker environments for standardized builds and tests. This high degree of automation reduces sources of error, shortens development cycles, and ensures complete traceability of every step.

End-to-End Integration

We support projects from the first requirement through to final commissioning, or take over selected sub-areas where needed. Our services include full system integration, technical specifications, interface design, and handover in the form of workshops or training. Throughout the process, we place strong emphasis on close coordination with all project stakeholders to ensure smooth execution and sustainable results.

Timing Analysis & Timing Closure

Unstable behavior or errors that only occur under certain conditions are often an indication of timing issues.

We systematically analyze constraints, timing reports, and critical paths, and drive your design toward stable timing closure through targeted optimization.

Our process

Structured for success, our path from idea to verified solution.

Successful FPGA development is based on a clearly defined and transparent process. At P2L2, we rely on a precise sequence of steps that ensures every phase is designed for quality, traceability, and sustainability from the very beginning. Our project process combines sound analysis, thoughtful design, automated testing, and careful integration into a workflow that minimizes risk, uses resources efficiently, and reliably safeguards the project outcome.

Requirements & Analysis

We start with a detailed capture of the technical and functional requirements. Together with our clients, we define goals, framework conditions, and interfaces to establish a clear foundation for the design from the outset.

Concept & Architecture

Based on the defined requirements, we develop an optimal FPGA architecture. In doing so, we take performance targets, resource usage, scalability, and integration into existing systems into account.

Design & Implementation

We translate the concept into a precise, optimized RTL design and integrate embedded Linux, drivers, and other system components where required. Every step is documented continuously to ensure complete traceability.

Verification & Testing

Using modern test frameworks, formal verification, and automated regression testing, we validate the design comprehensively. This ensures that it meets the specified requirements and operates reliably under real conditions.

Integration & Handover

We integrate the FPGA solution into the target environment, perform final system tests, and deliver complete documentation. If required, we also provide training sessions and workshops to ensure a smooth transition into operation..

Long-term Support

Even after project completion, we remain available as a partner for maintenance, optimization, or extensions. This ensures that your solution remains stable, secure, and high-performing for years to come.

Frequently asked questions about our FPGA services.

We develop independently of specific vendors and choose the FPGA technology and associated tools for each project that best fit your requirements from both a technical and economic perspective.

Yes. We analyze existing designs, identify optimization potential, fix errors, and extend functionality in a structured and traceable way. In doing so, we ensure existing systems are further developed cleanly while maintaining overall stability.

In FPGA design, we primarily work with VHDL RTL designs. For verification, we use modern frameworks such as UVVM, VUnit, OSVVM, and Cocotb depending on the project. In addition, we use languages and tools such as Python, Perl, TCL, C++, LUA, Docker, and GitLab CI/CD for automation, tooling, and quality assurance.

The project starts with a detailed requirements analysis and the joint development or refinement of the specification. Based on this, architecture, implementation, and verification follow, with structured documentation across all phases. This creates a robust foundation for efficient development and reliable results.

We support projects ranging from clearly defined sub-tasks and prototypes to complex FPGA and embedded systems. Thanks to a structured approach, clean documentation, and close coordination with your development department, both smaller and demanding projects can be implemented efficiently.

We rely on thorough verification, automated unit and regression tests, self-checking testbenches, as well as simulation-based and formal verification. Where needed, static timing analysis and structured reviews are added. Combined with clean documentation and automated processes, this ensures FPGA designs remain reliable, traceable, and maintainable.

Many applications combine FPGA components with microcontrollers or processors. We support exactly that interface and ensure clean communication between hardware and software. Depending on the task, we also take on embedded-related areas such as firmware, drivers, hardware abstraction layers, and Linux-related development.
