Xilinx's "Device Lookup" Service

[MAGELI]

For some time, Xilinx has been printing 2D barcodes on its FPGA chips. To read and interpret this barcode, you need a XilinxGo application suitable for IOS or Android.
This will make it easy to find the parameters of any specific chip, won't it? However, Xilinx can only use this feature after obtaining its approval - you need to submit a request to access the service.
As an FPGA enthusiast without fancy company email addresses, they refused my access request. What are they trying to protect here? To my knowledge, this application provides you with part numbers, number of pins, manufacturing locations, and other information.
I saw a PCB circuit board in a large server with a XILINX component inside. I am curious about the specific information such as part number and pin count
Dear engineer, who can check it? I will be very grateful to you!

Please try to shrink or compress large images, at just over 11Mb your pictures are too large for some people to see or download.

I can't read the barcode, it is too indistinct but regardless, it will not tell you anything about the parameters of the IC and it may just be a stock code. Knowing the FPGA type on its own will not be of much use to you, it is what is programmed inside it that gives it 'personality' and the chances are it will be protected so the program code inside it can't be read out.

Hi,

I agree with the image size. It`s just the barcode, it could be easily in a 10kBytes image.

Also it may just contain a "link" to a database. If you don't have access to the database, the barcode is about useless.

Hello, brother



I urgently need the part number of this component. We do not have an engineer authorized account on the ADM APP and cannot scan to understand the part number



Do you think the picture I sent is okay?
