Microchip PolarFire Users

Get expert FPGA design support for teams building on Microchip PolarFire and PolarFire SoC — the RISC-V embedded platform with a security-first architecture.

This page is for companies with existing PolarFire deployments that need design help. PolarFire’s combination of low power, deterministic behavior, and built-in security features attracts a specific class of product — and requires engineers who understand that context.

When companies need this:

• A PolarFire SoC design requires both FPGA fabric and RISC-V Linux bring-up expertise
• A design needs to leverage PolarFire’s built-in crypto and secure boot features correctly
• An existing Libero SoC project needs optimization, extension, or handover support
• A design must meet functional safety requirements (IEC 61508, ISO 26262) that PolarFire supports
• Internal teams lack experience with RISC-V toolchains alongside RTL development
• A production-ready design needs independent design review before release

What matters when your stack is already fixed:

• Experience with Libero SoC — not just Vivado or Quartus transferred over
• Understanding of PolarFire’s security architecture and how to implement it correctly
• Familiarity with RISC-V Linux bring-up on the Mi-V and PolarFire SoC platforms
• Ability to meet deterministic and safety-critical timing requirements
• Experience navigating Microchip’s IP licensing and support model

Why teams outsource:

• PolarFire expertise is scarce — the talent pool is smaller than for Xilinx or Intel
• Security feature implementation requires specialists to avoid misconfiguration
• RISC-V embedded Linux is a different skillset from traditional FPGA development
• Safety-critical certifications require documented, reviewed design processes that external partners can support
