We launched the Plunify Cloud platform<\/a> in 2018 and introduced 2 new tools for FPGA designers. Corporate users can use the FPGA Expansion Pack (FEP) plugin<\/a> to easily compile their designs in the cloud from Vivado. Another tool, AI Lab<\/a>, allows FPGA designers to start a virtual environment in the cloud without worrying about the tool licenses and FPGA server configuration.<\/p>\n

Announcing Micropayments Support - New Tiers Starting from $2.89<\/h2>\n

All our tools, like FEP and AI Lab\u00a0on Plunify Cloud, run on a pre-paid cloud credit system. To cater to the diversified FPGA crowd, we are excited to announce that Plunify Cloud now supports micro-payments for WeChat Pay.\u00a0 For WeChat users, you can now purchase\u00a030 credits at only RMB19.90. <\/strong>This is just USD 2.89.\u00a0<\/strong>With WeChat, you can simply scan\u00a0the QR Code on the website for payment.
\n\"\"
\nFor credit card users, do not fret. There is also a\u00a0new tier for you - USD $9.90 for 100 credits.\u00a0 100 credits are sufficient to run a basic server with FPGA tools for more than 15 hours.<\/p>\n

Having micro and small payments enable our users to pay for what they need. They don't get a bill shock at the end of the day.<\/p>\n

What Can You Do with the Credits?<\/h2>\n

Credit consumption depends on the cloud server type and the using time. An example of the specs and costs of available cloud servers are listed as below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
