Has this product line been abandoned?
Reason I ask, I placed order for ForgeFPGA Development Board and socket adapter with Mouser 3 months ago as they had the products listed for sale.
They replied that no stock was available, so I cancelled the order and obtained refund.
I searched the internet recently for availability and no luck on any ForgeFPGA parts, Mouser don't list any parts for this product line.
I contacted Renesas product support a week ago on availability and have had no response.
I have development projects waiting for this product so can anyone advise on availability/timescale.
Hi Scotcob,Not at all. Please send your requests regarding ForgeFPGA Development Board and socket adapter etc., by email to =>[email protected]Best regards,Renesas Electronics Online Support
I contacted [email protected] and they responded that the ForgeFPGA Development board and socket adapter are not available, no date was given on when supply would be available. They advised that the new ForgeFPGA Evaluation board is available, however could not advise on who is supplying this board, I have searched all the usual suppliers and no luck, if anyone has a source for this board I would be extremely grateful if they could advise. Unfortunately there is no option to buy direct from Renesas, as used to be the case when GreenPAK were part of Dialog Semiconductor, I purchased from them several times and received great service.
Overall I am extremely disappointed with Renesas, they launched a new product line almost a year ago and are unable to support with any products or schedule.
Scotcob, we're in early engineering samples to customers right now , that's the reason we cannot sell online. There's a metal change or two in process right now (bug-fixes) , and currently mass production is scheduled for mid-late Q2 next year. I agree in an ideal world, marketing would not advertise the product until its ready ... BR JE_REN
Do you any updates on availability ?
Does it still look like mid-to-late Q2 2023 for introduction (imminent) - or if there are further delays, would you be able to provide a new estimate ?
Thank you for your consideration.
Mouser has just now 4 units of SLG7DVKFORGE on stock, but no its datasheet. Also, there is no SLG47910 stock yet.
Absolutely pathetic way to release a product, late by about 20 months, then no release dates, then a drip drip of parts availability - 4 available, are they really serious about this product line? No socket adapter available and no release date, Renesas are a joke of a company, I abandoned this product months ago.
Again out of stock. The first unit sold quickly, but the remaining three were abandoned until their sudden disappearance. At the same time, the SLG47910V-SKT status changed from "Non-Stocked" to "1 On Order".
Maybe someone took the risk of buying the kit without confirmation of its contents and found no samples in it, so Mouser removed the unusable dev board to wait until the first units hit the market?
the short and quick of it is that the product hasn't released yet. Someone has put these on Mouser as a placeholder , but we're not shipping yet. Current ETA has us sampling final silicon in Oct timeframe. We have engineering samples out at several lead customers.
There is no debate that the product is late. I'm not sure why Mouser has it on their web yet !

Thanks for the update!
