SYZYGY-based Open Source Signal Generator
To demonstrate the effectiveness of the SYZYGY standard for rapid prototyping, we gave our summer intern a task to build an open source signal generator design using the new XEM7320 and the SYZYGY DAC peripheral. Read the full update.
Sales Moving to Opal Kelly
SYZYGY products are now live on the Opal Kelly online store. The online store includes all the same SYZYGY products available during the Crowd Supply campaign along with a set of new SYZYGY peripherals, including a multi-sensor module and a set of breakout boards. A pair of test peripherals are also available now, intended for carrier developers that wish to perform continuity tests during production testing of their boards. Read the full update.
SYZYGY Tools Released
We have launched a new repository, syzygy-tools on GitHub. This repository contains a set of tools for SYZYGY carrier and peripheral developers. These include a library that can be used to parse and solve SmartVIO solutions from DNA data along with an application to create DNA binaries from JSON data. Read the full update.
Shipping
We've been quiet lately, but not idle. Everything is in place for us to begin shipping this week! Please take a moment to check your shipping address through your Crowd.Supply account. Read the full update.
Crowdfunding Complete
The Brain-1 crowdfunding campaign ended earlier this week. Thank you to all of our backers for supporting this project! If you are interested in the project and missed out on the initial campaign offering, the Brain-1 and Pods are still available for pre-order on Crowd Supply. Read the full update.
Brain-1 Schematics and BOMs
In this new-year update, we're happy to deliver the schematics and BOMs of the Brain-1 and several of the peripherals. These assets have been released on an Aligni site we created specifically for the SYZYGY hardware projects. Read the full update.
SYZYGY DNA Specification Released
SYZYGY DNA provides a way for carriers to identify peripherals and retrieve voltage operating requirements from them. In this update, we introduce SYZYGY DNA and the SYZYGY DNA Specification. Read the full update.

The SYZYGY Origin Story (Part II)
The SYZYGY standard was a response to customer demand for a flexible, well-defined, modern interface between an FPGA and off-the-shelf peripheral modules. Read the full update.

Crowdfunding Campaign is Officially Launched
It's official! The Brain-1 campaign is under way! We have limited volumes for the first round offering, so be sure to pledge quickly. The response rate will help us to determine how many to run for our second round and continued production. The time has come for an approachable peripheral standard for the high performance devices FPGAs work with best. Please help us spread the word and get others on-board! Share the update and the campaign on social media, with your friends, with your associates, and with your local FAEs! Let's try to rid the world of worthless proprietary semiconductor eval boards and encourage manufacturers to follow a useful, open standard. Read the full update.
