The Standardization Group for Embedded Technologies e.V. (SGET) today announced a paradigm shift in embedded design with the official release of the Open Harmonized FPGA Module (oHFM) specification. As the world’s first open and vendor-independent FPGA module standard, oHFM brings the proven success of Computer-on-Module (COM) principles to the FPGA ecosystem, offering a new level of flexibility for developers and silicon partners alike.

Building Bridges, Not Barriers: A First Look at the oHFM Standard. For years, starting a new FPGA project has felt like reinventing the wheel. Every design began from scratch with custom form factors, unique pinouts, and proprietary thermal concepts. This "Proprietary by Design" approach led to high effort, low agility, and the dreaded vendor lock-in.
