The automotive industry imposes stringent requirements on Functional Safety. For semiconductor companies involved in automotive chips and even further upstream in Silicon Intellectual Property (SIP), obtaining ISO 26262 certification is a fundamental requirement for product penetration into automotive applications.… Read More
Consider RISC-V ISA as a new ‘unforbidden fruit’. Unlike other fruits (ISAs) that grow in proprietary orchards, RISC-V is available to all, i.e. open-source. Much like a delicious fruit can be transformed into a wide array of delectable desserts, so can RISC-V be utilized to create a plethora of effective applications across … Read More
