A New Era Begins: Red Pitaya Gen 2 Is Officially Here

Today marks a major milestone in the Red Pitaya story — the official launch of Red Pitaya Gen 2, now available for order in our webshop.

More than just an upgrade, Gen 2 represents the next generation of Red Pitaya boards — a complete redesign that brings industrial reliability, higher performance, and even greater flexibility to engineers, researchers, and innovators around the world.

What Makes Gen 2 Different

Built from the ground up, Red Pitaya Gen 2 is designed to meet the needs of demanding industrial and scientific environments — while staying true to our open, modular, and community-driven DNA.

Here’s what’s new:

Redesigned for reliability
A robust power design and improved system architecture ensure continuous, stable operation — even under the most intensive workloads.

Performance and precision
Gen 2 delivers a cleaner signal path and tighter system integration, providing consistent, repeatable results across experiments and applications.

Flexible by design
With open software, direct FPGA access, and an expanding ecosystem of tools and accessories, Gen 2 grows with your needs — from rapid prototyping to long-term deployment.

Made for real work
From aerospace and photonics to communications, medical, and quantum research, Gen 2 is ready to power the next generation of breakthroughs.

Why Gen 2 Marks a New Era

When Red Pitaya first launched, we reimagined how engineers and scientists could access powerful measurement and control tools — replacing entire lab setups with a single, open platform.

Now, with Generation 2, we’re raising that standard again. The new architecture doesn’t just offer better performance — it enables smarter, more connected, and more robust systems that are ready for the future of research and industry.

This launch isn’t just about new hardware. It’s about continuing our mission:

To make advanced test, measurement, and control accessible to every engineer, researcher, and innovator — everywhere.
