SAN JOSE, Calif. – February 10, 2021 – QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK), a
developer of ultra-low power multi-core voice-enabled SoCs, embedded FPGA IP, and
endpoint AI solutions, today announced the introduction of its new Qomu development kit , a
tiny form factor Arm® Cortex®-M4F MCU + eFPGA combination that fits into a USB Type
A port. Optimized for the QuickLogic Open Reconfigurable Computing (QORC) initiative,
the kit is supported by a wide variety of vendor-supported open source development tools,
including Zephyr, FreeRTOS, SymbiFlow and Renode, which broadens access and enables
designers to develop applications virtually anywhere.
The Qomu development kit contains QuickLogic’s EOS S3 MCU + eFPGA SoC, which
enables an incredible amount of processing capability for such a tiny development kit. The
MCU enables seamless software development while the embedded FPGA (eFPGA) can be
used to accelerate or offload algorithms from the MCU, or to simply implement custom IP or
provide glue logic. While the kit can implement a wide range of functionality for a broad set
of market segments, it is especially well-suited to edge IoT applications – especially those
requiring ultra-low power consumption and artificial intelligence or machine learning
capabilities.
QuickLogic’s QORC initiative has led to a completely open source, vendor supported
development tool environment for the Qomu development kit. Open source development
tools include SymbiFlow synthesis, place & route, and bitstream generation. Many example
applications and gateware are readily available for free. In addition to standard Verilog
support with SymbiFlow, Qomu supports nMigen for a Python-to-FPGA design flow.
Additional open source tools include Zephyr, FreeRTOS and Renode.
“The Qomu dev kit is a milestone for the industry in many ways. It packs an incredible
amount of functionality in the size of a USB port,” said Mao Wang, senior director of
marketing at QuickLogic. “More importantly, this open source dev kit was designed in close
collaboration with one of the most respected designers in the open source community, Sean
Cross.”
Availability
The Qomu development kit is available on an exclusive basis through Crowd Supply. To

About QuickLogic
QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK) is a fabless semiconductor company that develops low power,
multi-core semiconductor platforms and Intellectual Property (IP) for Artificial Intelligence (AI), voice and
sensor processing. The solutions include embedded FPGA IP (eFPGA) for hardware acceleration and pre-
processing, and heterogeneous multi-core SoCs that integrate eFPGA with other processors and peripherals. The
Analytics Toolkit from our recently acquired wholly-owned subsidiary, SensiML Corporation, completes the
end-to-end solution with accurate sensor algorithms using AI technology. The full range of platforms, software
tools and eFPGA IP enables the practical and efficient adoption of AI, voice, and sensor processing across
mobile, wearable, hearable, consumer, industrial, edge and endpoint IoT. For more information, visit
