So were the chips that BRN supplied to DeGirum the FPGA chips?
That would make sense as that was the stated purpose of the FPGA chips.

All you techies, please note the enormous amount of self-restrainf displayed by the absence of any reference to flash memory.
Bravo
If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!

My very rough understanding of FPGAs is that they are like Integrated Circuits, done on an electronics bread board..
They work like the final product, while being adjustable, but are basically hand made "chips" which by that very nature, are extremely low volume..
As in, you "cannot" do a "run" of them..
I know that's oversimplifying things a lot but I like to simplify things.. May even be completely off track?..
My thinking, is that it gives prospective customers, a Real World look, at what AKIDA 2.0 can do, beyond simulation, without actually being "proven" in silicon?..
Although, what makes AKIDA technology "special" has been proven, with AKD1000 and AKD1500, in two separate foundry processes.

Good afternoon back in Australia,
I'm sure others read my posts, so wherever you are in the world, gidday !
I have just listened to the first podcast hosted by Steve Brightfield, what a relaxed professional, I loved it, he's not a journalist, he's
a veteran technology professional, having been in the industry for 35 plus years, it shows !
This next point is important, this is the positive effect Sean has had since coming on board, he has targeted (in my opinion) top class,
mature executive type staff, surrounding himself with guns, not to dissimilar to what Peter and Anil did in the early years, surrounding
themselves with top class PHD Scientists and Electrical Engineers.
Steve has brought his old mate Bill on board, they met as young blokes (35 years ago) so the trust and friendship is solid, that's
what I'm talking about, those types of relationships open up DOORS !
Listen carefully to what Bill says, within 5 minutes of logging into Degirum, Brainchip software is ready to give you benchmarks for
what you are looking for.
"Your team (Brainchip) is available to support us ASAP, you're in California, we're in Silicon Valley"
"A lot of people are trying it" (Brainchip, that is)
Are we getting any traction ?
Do we have the attention of a number of "major players" ?
Is the general tech industry finally starting to get a handle on Edge AI, and more specifically Spiking Neural Networks ?
Is/Was CES 2025 all about AI and weeding out the hype and getting down to the "Real Disruptors" who are the "Real Deal"?
Forget the current share price, Bottsie is having a field day, buying and selling to itself, do you think all our partners and current
engagements give a S... about the day to day bullshit, they are engaged with a company that has the goods, and the ones who
have the "real investment dollars" are getting to know it, faster and faster as this "evolutionary game" plays out !!
Talk about the Nasdaq is a total fantasy for us, in my opinion it will only happen in a take over scenario plays out and the name
Brainchip will sadly be a distant memory, sorry, but that's how I see it over the next 5 years.
More to come..........have a top weekend.......Tech.

I disagree that a NASDAQ listing, is a "total fantasy" Tech
...It is, while we are unprofitable.
But with strong profits down the track (hopefully within the next 2 to 5 years, the sooner the better) I think a NASDAQ listing, would then become a certainty.

Fair enough Dingo...but I think you may have misread what I was trying to say.
To gain entry onto the Nasdaq we have to overcome a number of hurdles, one which you have eluded to is "revenue" as in "profit."
I do believe that our technology will ultimately end up on the big tech boards of the Nasdaq, but NOT as Brainchip Holdings Ltd, but
under another name of a potential suitor, who will pounce when they consider we are gaining to much of the market share and need
to gobble us up...........so yes the Nasdaq, but not as Brainchip on the Nasdaq........in my opinion of course.
Cheers Tech.
As long as I get my millions they can do what they want after that.. if not, I will be happy to hold long

Fair enough too Tech
Any number of scenarios could play out and any, which involve the AKIDA/TENNs technologies being "market" successful, will make everyone here, with significant holdings, extremely happy.
But still (and as you have noted "sadly") I'd much prefer to have all that and see the name "BrainChip" up in shining lights.
But not a billionaire, he dreaming..

Nice pick up.
That's exciting.
Hopefully a little more information is made available.
Who manufactured these chips ? Intel ? or Xilinx ?
How many have been produced ?
Maybe we'll learn more about costs associated in the upcoming quarterly.
In any event " Bloody Bagus Sekali "
So, Akida 2 FPGA's and a room full of blokes from RTX,
Nooice.
Hi DB,
I can see your soldering iron is a bit rusty.
As you say, a gate array is an prefab IC with bunches of different logic gates and registers with selectable interconnexions.
The Programmable part means that the user can choose the interconnexions. Once upon a time, you only got one shot at proramming the interconnexions, so it was permanently programmed which was usually done on a programming device before the gate array was installed on a circuit board (eg, fusable links).
Field programmability means that the gate array interconnexions can be chosen when the FPGA is installed.
So for example, there may be a mesh network similar to that used in Akida interconnecting the gates and registers where the interconnexions are controlled by a CPU.
US2016342722A1 METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PROGRAMMING A FPGA
A method of programming a FPGA, wherein the FPGA comprises an array of macrocells, each comprising at least a configurable hardware block and a configurable interconnection network, the method comprises the steps of: providing a high-level configuration file containing: first data defining a set of macrocells and their relative positions; second data defining a configuration of the hardware blocks of the macrocells; and third data defining interconnections between the macrocells; wherein said high-level configuration file contains neither data defining an absolute position of the macrocells within the FPGA, nor local routing information fully defining a configuration of their interconnection networks; converting said high-level configuration file into a bitstream file; and uploading the bitstream file into the FPGA. A semiconductor chip comprising a FPGA and a device configured for programming the FPGA are provided.
US2024020537A1 METHODOLOGY TO GENERATE EFFICIENT MODELS AND ARCHITECTURES FOR DEEP LEARNING 20210715
A system and method of generating an efficient neural network model architecture and an efficient processor for deep learning in an artificial intelligence (AI) processor are provided. The system and method to create the processor architecture as a companion to the neural network model by composing a plurality of processor architectures to enable architectural exploration. The compilation can be implemented for any arbitrary spatial processor architecture using either ASIC or FPGA devices. The processor architecture can be uniquely defined for a selected ML or AI model without having to update the software compiler.
Because the layout is not optimized as in an ASIC, the performance will be significntly below that of an ASIC, but still better than a software simulation.

By using FPGAs, they can update them after they have been deployed. This allows them to make tweaks for either optimization or fixing any issues that exist. In some cases, FPGAs can perform better than a general-purpose processor and include other dedicated hardware components.
Of course, they can be more expensive than pre-built hardware and more complicated to develop since they require people knowledgeable of the languages used to program them. Typically VHDL and Verilog languages are used for programming these (I had the opportunity to use Verilog for my labs in college).
I see it as an advantage to allow potential customers to implement solutions quickly (without the cost of waiting for a large batch of chips) using BrainChip's neural fabric and other functional blocks on the FPGA (like a RISC V implementation).

Ah yes, of course!
Now I understand, completely..

well my thinking is similar, when it hits $3.50 aud it may decide to half the number of shares doubling the aud price to $7 then going to the Nasdaq at the qualifying price about $4 usd, that's thoughts of how it will eventually move into the nasdaq otherwise I would expect attempt of takeover offer would need to be at least $7. of course that's my opinion and its conservative at that.

I'm pretty sure the "qualifying price" isn't set in stone and isn't determinate, depending on other factors..
There just wouldn't be the required liquidity, with such large holdings and only 1 billion shares on issue.
But anyway, it's all just meaningless conjecture, at this point..
