Anyone using Efinix parts? They look ok, even if they don't have a lot of package offerings.

We are using Efinix due to supply chain shortages to replace Cyclone 10 part.

Tell us more please. How does your number of LUTs used compare with traditional offerings for your use case? Can you tell us more about the
kind of architecture you're implementing?

Asking because I've heard that the Trion's have minimal routing fabric,
so the tools tend to use LUTs for routing. The tradeoff is because
Efinix can radically reduce the number of mask layers, cutting both cost
and power consumption to about a third of "equivalent" devices.

I'm considering trying to port the Hermes SDR software to a Trion, and
need to know how big a device would be needed. It looks like it might
fit in a T35.
